EVENT DESCRIPTION
TRI247 WINTER 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.

This is a full body neuromuscular workout from UK time-trial specialist Matt Bottrill. The idea behind this workout is to adapt to changs in pace and to learn how to optimise speed, power and aerodynamics. 6 weeks leading into a key event would be the perfect time to look at including this workout into your weekly schedule.

Main set - 3 blocks

15 minutes of intervals
15 x 30 seconds at 125% FTP, 30 seconds rest

10 minutes at 90% FTP

8 minutes at 105% FTP

Matt has amassed a huge collection on British National Championship titles, TT competition records and much more, making him one of the most successful British riders of all time. In 2016 and 2017, Matt raced in several triathlons with age group successes and more recently he is gaining an impressive reputation as a successful cycle coach to several top name pros including Tim Don and Rachel Joyce.

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.
