ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

The first of our Hammer Time workouts comprises four blocks of intervals above and below your FTP, adapting your body to recover even at a high workload. The ability to recover from hard efforts with dropping much below threshold is useful for any kind of riding at a high intensity, especially when riding in a group and taking turns on the front.

With a total of 30 minutes of effort around your FTP it should get your heart rate up!

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.
