ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Training at this sweet spot is more sustainable than threshold work and less time consuming than endurance training, so cyclists can repeat it frequently and see real improvements.

The concept of Sweet Spot Training (SST) is one of the most time effective ways of getting stronger on the bike. SST is done by doing intervals at 84% to 92% of your Functional Threshold Power (FTP)

This workout involves 6 x 5 minute efforts at 88% FTP

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.
