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.

ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

CTS and Zwift are excited to get you into holiday shape with this 15 day/8 stage workout progression. This set of workouts is designed to simulate a stage race. Each day will offer different challenges just as a multi-day event would.

Stage 2: The rolling foothills course! Today we will simulate a rolling course leading to the upcoming mountain stages. Be ready to hold a steady pace most of the workout with short pushes over the tops of the rollers. Don't forget to drink!

Length: 58 minutes

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.
