Workout Wednesday - Threshold Bump With Coach Hendy
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This Workout is one of my favourite of all time. It a very nice way to get in that FTP workout without having to mentally plug away at a desired power for countless minutes.
This involves 2 longer efforts of 20mins but only 40sec is done on ftp and 20sec is recovery each minute.
By the end of the session you will have completed 13min20sec on 26min 40sec on FTP.

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, Sky Procycling, Lotto Belisol and he spent his final season representing UnitedHealthcare. Teammates he raced with most often were Andre Greipel, Marcel Sieberg and Adam Hansen.
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.
