EVENT DESCRIPTION
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

This week’s workout is the 50th TRI247 Wednesday Workout Series session, so we’ve put together an hour session which includes a total of 50 power target elements. Can you collect a full house of 50 stars on the 50 Shades of Power workout?!

The session includes a range of elements inspired by previous sessions in our series and hence will provide a lot of variety during the hour. These include a progressive warm/up, warm/up ‘spikes’ to get the legs going, sweetspot blocks, microburst intervals, FTP pyramids and over/unders.

We’d like to encourage regulars to come join us and celebrate a year of Zwift training – and encourage newcomers to join us and find out what the TRI247 Workout Series is all about. All are very welcome to join us for a fun hour of training and some good banter!

WORKOUT DESIGNER

This week’s session has been set and will be lead by TRI247 Editor, John Levison.

A multiple Ironman finisher ‘back in the day’, he’s more likely to be found at events these days either commentating, interviewing or reporting than racing. That said, he still likes to train when he can and Zwift has become his ‘go to’ training tool over the past year.

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.
