ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This training exercise is set up to mimic the real life scenary that takes place in racing when there is a climb approaching. For example the final Climbs in Milan San Remo. Initially there is a large surge in speed for positioning into the bottom of the climb. The typically a small lull in pace as your team takes control of the throttle. After it has lined out you typically are sitting right on threshold waiting for the first brave person to attack. Make sure you can follow the attack!

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.
