British Cycling eRacing Workout: Under//Over With Surges
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Try to schedule this as early in the week as possible to maximise recovery. It's your final tough workout of the plan and another race specific session. Float just below threshold, push above it and then deliver a group shattering surge. Recovering from the surge at near threshold intensity takes real mental and physical toughness but it'll prepare you for whatever race day throws at you.
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.
