TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES

Every Wednesday at 7pm, 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

Tonight’s session is brought to you by a man who knows what it takes to finish on the Age-Group podium at the IRONMAN World Championship. Twice!

The ‘Kona Quest’ combines intervals at FTP level (100%) and above (top of Zone 5 / 120%). You can fully expect the two minutes at Zone 5 to sting the legs… but dig deep, as the gains will be worth it (and a welcome recovery period awaits).

Of course, you’ll be doing it all three times through…. Enjoy!

WORKOUT DESIGNER

This week's session has been set top British Age-Group athlete, Paul Lunn.

Paul has finished 5th (2017) and 3rd (2018) in the last two IRONMAN World Championship races in Kona, and hopes to be returning in 2019 with his sights set on trying to reach the top step of the M45-49 podium.

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.
