EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THE JANUARY ZWIFT FONDO TRAINING PLAN

We will have three workouts a week - two interval workouts tailored towards everyone of about 50min each during the week in multiple time slots and a long ride tailored to each distance of the Fondo - Gran, Medio, and Bambino - on the weekend.

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.
