EVENT DESCRIPTION
WORKOUT DESCRIPTION

This workout is specifically used in the early base phase of a training schedule to elicit VO2max or aerobic capacity gains.

The target for these longer intervals are 110% to ensure that riders are not bumping into their anaerobic stores to complete the workouts. Simply put the longer we can stay aerobic for these harder efforts the more you will have left in the tank at the end of a race or ride for a hard finish.

EER exists to help you achieve your goals with their data-driven training methods allow for targeted workouts that seek to develop a specific physiologic response without preventing you from having a normal social and family life.

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.
