ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This is a great FTP boosting workout that is excellent for developing your ability to quickly find and maintain this key intensity.

With the effort divided up into bite sized chunks it’s a great stepping stone to longer threshold intervals. However, as you’ll log 23 minutes riding at FTP, it’s still a decent workout. The efforts vary in length for two to five minutes.

With all structured workouts, it’s important that your FTP value is accurate and up to date.

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.
