WORKOUT DESIGNER
David Heatley is an International cycling coach with over ten years of professional coaching experience. He is the founder of Cycling-Inform®, a cycle coaching company that is trusted by over 40,000 cyclists worldwide since 2007. He uses a unique training methodology that he has developed to help his clients quickly excel with their riding while juggling their training around their work and family commitments.

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.
