WORKOUT DESCRIPTION

This workout develops fitness in power zones 5 & 6. The intervals start off short then build up to a peak and then get short again, like this:
1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 4m, 3m, 2m, 1m. The rest periods between the intervals match the length of the preceding interval. Power levels will be in zone 6 for the shorter intervals and zone 5 for the longer ones. HR will be in zone 5+ for most of this workout after the first 2-3 intervals.

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.
