Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Our weekly RELENTLESS Power Hour. This session is all about working on your short duration power and ability to sustain that power with active, high intensity recovery. Today we are focussing on high 1 minute power A gradual ramped warm up leads us into 3 x 3mins at 85% FTP, Sweet Spot, to properly warm us all up. Then we move into 7 x 1min HIGH power intervals. These are at 140% FTP, not MAX but hard! We have a solid recovery between them where it's important to spin, hydrate and recover and then we go again. The key is focussing on form and sustaining the efforts. Builds stress and tolerance of the work over time. Excellent for ZWIFT racing!

ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS
Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event and once the event starts, workout mode begins. Everyone stays together regardless of power output. That's right, if you're outputting 100W and another Zwifter is outputting 400W you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall 6 meters behind the group will the rubber-banding stop.
HELPFUL HINT
We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
