EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Aktivitus - Base, Performance & Racing - 16 weeks of base building preparation.

Aktivitus ZWO #106

The workout is 60 minutes and, after 10 minutes of warmup, we start with a block of strength intervals of about 15 minutes ending with a 5 minutes high-speed cadence exercise above FTP. A short rest and then a new block with focus on lactic tolerance. 1 min really hard, and 2 min rest at low intensity. Short rest and end with some 40/20 that you know well from earlier WO.

WORKOUT DESIGNER

The workout is designed by Mattias Lundqvist, Test & Training Manager at Aktivitus Test Clinic & Coaching. Mattias has experience from 20 years of road cycling, CX and MTB and 15 years of experience in professional coaching and physiological tests through Aktivitus Test Clinic & Coaching.

The goal is higher FTP, better endurance around FTP and the ability to sustain longer time above anaerobic threshold. This ride can be done one, two but no more than three times a week for recreational cyclists. To get result of this ride, it is essential that training is done at the right level (correct FTP and reliable power meters) and combined with other training. Most cyclist needs to ride 3-5 times a week to reach their peak performance before more volume based training is added.

This concept is the result of analyzing, measuring and coaching more than 15 000 clients at Aktivitus Testlink & Coaching witch is Sweden’s largest and oldest sport performance and coaching center. Aktivitus was established 2004 and make people faster and stronger by scientific physiology-tests (lactic threshold, VO2max, energy cost, anaerobic tests etc) and massive background inquiries.

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.
