Zwift Group Workout: Touching Threshold
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
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
Controlled, repeated intervals help extend the time you can spend near threshold and 9 x 4 minute intervals will keep you busy in this workout. Keep an eye on your heart rate across the efforts. Are you able to bring your heart rate back to normal resting levels during each recovery period?
This session you will challenge you both physically and mentally. It will improve your ability to resist fatigue while remaining focussed on your cadence and heart rate.
Length: 58 minutes
Workout Designer: Kevin Poulton. Having over 15 years of coaching experience, the successful implementation of indoor training at Powerhouse Cycling has allowed athletes to achieve success across a wide range of events. We have devised methods of training that allow your indoor training to compliment your work completed on the road.
Under the guidance of Powerhouse Cycling, athletes have won Paris-Roubaix, Grand Tour stages, World Tour classics, and numerous National and State Championships.
I have been coaching, racing and training with power meters since the late 90's and have successfully implemented their use into my training programs. My interest in exercise physiology ensures I keep up to date with the latest scientific studies, with this knowledge being passed onto our athletes.

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.
