EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Rowe & King's Monday Mixer is a short but focused session, aimed at developing your Aerobic Capacity and Speed.

In terms of physical stress - the session is regarded as "moderate" - one that can be completed following a hard Sunday ride, and should not leave your legs too fatigued come Tuesday.

The session is centered on two key types of efforts

1. 2 Minute ramped efforts, from 80% of FTP up to 130% which force your body's aerobic system to work hard, helping to slightly nudge up your Aerobic Capacity (ability to produce high power for a short period of time), by riding just above your Vo2 Max.

2. 10 Second Sprints - touching on your neuromuscular co-ordination and anaerobic peak power production to make you a faster bike rider.

This session is regarded as 'High Intensity Interval Trainng' (HIIT) and fits in perfectly alongside longer endurance rides on the weekend.

WORKOUT DESIGNER

This session is designed by Rowe & King Head Coach, Courtney Rowe who has been coaching cyclists for over 30 years from beginner to professionals, and is a firm believer in quality over quantity.

Courtney is 29 x Welsh Champion, 5 x British Champion, 4 x European Champion and has 5 World Championship medals in his trophy cabinet!

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.
