Tri-Focused 12x1min MAP (Maximal Aerobic Power)
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
This workout is for Tri Zwifters but all are welcome to join. 12x1min hard (Z5) with 4min recovery at steady base aerobic power. The idea here is getting comfortable with power output in the near-MAP range but with good full recovery. The interval duration is too long to be a sprint - and you should stay seated for the entire interval - but not so long as to be overly taxing, especially with the long recovery. Keep the power up at a reasonable intensity during the recovery - it's not coasting.
Length: 60 minutes

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.
