EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
An opportunity to hit a variety of training zones with this Intensity Slide session. Covering all bases from maximal sprints, that will burn the legs and lungs, to the dreaded one minute efforts which are neither here nor there in terms of how hard you can ride and finishing with a block of threshold riding which is all about holding a sustained power.

Challenge yourself with this nippy session. A session that will have you pushing yourself outside your comfort zone time after time and operating under fatigue when the intensity does finally drop.

BRITISH CYCLING’S COMMITMENT TO WOMEN
British Cycling recently announced that it reached its target of getting one million more women on bikes by 2020, a cornerstone of the organisation’s ongoing ambition to reduce the historic gender gap within the sport.
In launching its women’s strategy in 2013, British Cycling set out its vision to ‘inspire one million more women to ride, race and be part of British Cycling by 2020’. Then, according to British Cycling’s market data, 550,000 women cycled on a regular basis. Since then, 1,023,271 more women have been influenced to ride a bike.
Along with the headline figure of getting one million more women on bikes, the strategy also aimed to create opportunities to ride and race, develop a pathway that keeps women engaged, get more women running the sport, get more women involved in governing the sport and increase female membership.

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.

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.
