Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
TRI247 WINTER SERIES
Every Wednesday at 7pm GMT, Tri247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest ‘coach’. This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.
The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule over the Winter.
This week’s workout comes from top amateur Ruth Purbrook. Coached by Will Clarke, Ruth was overall amateur champion at every 70.3 she raced in 2017. Ruth qualified for her first Kona in Lanzarote and finished in 3rd position on the 25-29 age group podium in Hawaii. Ruth works for Lloyds Bank in London and races for Team Freespeed.

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.
