TRI247 Winter Series: Sam Beggs' What Goes Up, Must Come Down
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.
A pyramid session featuring seven blocks of work, each one separated by two minutes of recovery. As the session progresses, the interval length decreases but the intensity increases, before we work back down again. Key elements of the session, with a progressive warm-up and cool-down either side are:
7min Z3[85%]
5min Z4[100%]
3min Z5[110%]
4x1min Z6[120%], 1min Z32[65%] recovery
3min Z5[110%]
5min Z4[100%]
7min Z3[85%]
Competitive Age-Group triathlete Sam Begg is a member of 7Oaks Tri Club in Kent. A prolific racer, he has won many races in the UK including the Marshman Half Distance Triathlon for the last two years and finished in the top-10 of the highly competitive Outlaw Half Holkham in both 2016 and 2017.

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.
