TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES

Every Wednesday at 7pm GMT, Tri247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest 'coach.' This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.

The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule over the Winter.

THE SESSION

If you’ve over-indulged over the festive period, this session should hopefully start to get you back on track to kick off 2019 – and we have one of the most world’s best female iron-distance athletes, Lucy Gossage, to lead the way with her New Year Set. Come and join the 'Duracell Bunny' on Zwift!

The main set tonights comprises of 3 sets of 10minutes, with each 10 minute block increasing in intensity, comprised of the following:

4:30 at 85% FTP (Zone3)
3:30 at 95% FTP (Zone4)
1:30 at 110% FTP (Zone5)
0:30 at 120% FTP (Zone6)


WORKOUT DESIGNER

To kick off the new year we are delighted to welcome back the ‘Duracell Bunny’ herself, Lucy Gossage. Lucy has been one of the most successful female long distance triathletes of recent years. Twice top-10 at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, she has a career total of 13 iron-distance victories, including all of her last seven starts during 2017 and 2018 over the distance. Just a couple of weeks ago she won the debut Patagonman Xtreme Triathlon in Chile, after previously winning IRONMAN(s) Lanzarote, UK and Wales earlier in the year.

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.
