EVENT DESCRIPTION
Zwift Group Workout: Time Trial Ramp

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

The objective of the Workout is to obtain 30mins of riding with an average power output close to your FTP. This is achievable with adequate rest then correct amount of time in the correct power zones.

I have nicknamed this session “The Creep” because it begins out all nice and friendly and everything is under control and then all of a sudden as the duration of the effort shortens the power increases things can start to get a bit messy, and I’m convinced the recovery time shortens also. It definitely feels like it does......or does it?

Length: 60 minutes

Workout Designer: Greg Henderson. Over the years Greg earned a fair amount of respect due to his longevity as a professional athlete in a pretty unforgiving sport. As a pro cyclist, he won or placed in road and track events in various countries for 20 years. He had 13 pro wins, 11 grand tours and 8 classics to his credit. Even after suffering a bad knee injury in a crash during the Tour de France in 2014, he didn’t let it keep him down for long. He’s ridden for Health Net, T-Mobile, Team Columbia, Team Sky, Lotto-Belisol and he spent his final season representing UnitedHealthcare. Teammates he raced with most often were Andre Greipel, Marcel Sieberg and Adam Hansen.

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.
