WORKOUT TIPS
We suggest warming up on the trainer for 5-10 minutes before the workout starts. Keep in mind that most people have a lower FTP indoors than outdoors.

ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS
Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event. Once the event starts, all riders enter workout mode. Everyone stays together, regardless of power output; if you put out 100 watts and another Zwifter puts out 400 watts, you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall significantly behind the group will the rubber banding stop. This allows all attendees to participate in the coaching and fun chatter.

HELPFUL HINTS
We highly recommend doing one of Zwift’s FTP tests, as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
