ZA Run’s eighth workout is a solid way to test your 5K fitness. It’s one of the most well-known 5K simulations in the pro world, and we’re bringing it to Zwift just for you. On paper it doesn’t look bad, but once you start, you’ll see what I mean. Focus and hit your paces here, then you’ll be all set to do it come race day, even after you taper down. This is something I do with all my 5K runners a few times every year, and I’m thrilled to be sharing this secret to success with you.
