TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES

Every Wednesday at 7pm GMT, 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

The session consists of three main blocks of just over/under FTP wattage – each block slightly different – before finishing off with some higher sprint efforts at the end. Having first used this session in February 2018, it comes highly recommended.


WORKOUT DESIGNER

This week’s workout comes from Reece Barclay. Reece, partner and coach to Lucy Charles, is making the transition in 2018 to racing as a full time professional athlete. After early season disappointment with a DNF at IRONMAN South Africa, Reece had a breakthrough race this past weekend at IRONMAN Italy, and a return to this session set by Reece is inspired by that result.

This 60min workout is an interval session consisting of under/over variations, intensity ladder and anaerobic sprints to finish off.

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.
