TRI247 Winter Series: Reece Barclay's Mixed Intervals
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 Reece Barclay. Reece, partner and coach to Lucy Charles, is making the transition in 2018 to racing as a full time professional athlete. With several notable results on the age group circuit in the last couple of years, his first major race will be Ironman Lanzarote in May. Keep an eye out for him at the front of the swim and using his bike strength to mix it with the top athletes in the race.
This 60min workout is an interval session consisting of under/over variations, intensity ladder and anaerobic sprints to finish off.

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.
