EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

Welcome to week 11 of the Prudential RideLondon Group Workouts!

This week's 59 minute workout focuses on explosive SSTs! This means doing a few short sharp intervals at 100 rpm, followed by a sweet spot effort.

Prudential RideLondon Group Workouts take place every Tuesday evening, Thursday morning and Sunday morning, all the way up to event day on 29th July. Join us as we train together wearing the official 2018 Prudential RideLondon kit.

You can find full training plans for all the Prudential RideLondon mass participation events in game from the workout library, as well as on the Prudential RideLondon website under training plans. Written by Zwift's leading coach, Kevin Poulton, these will help you find your best form in July, whether you are riding the real life events or not.

Ride On!

WORKOUT DESIGNER

Kevin Poulton. Having over 15 years of coaching experience, the successful implementation of indoor training at Powerhouse Cycling has allowed athletes to achieve success across a wide range of events. We have devised methods of training that allow your indoor training to compliment your work completed on the road.

Under the guidance of Powerhouse Cycling, athletes have won Paris-Roubaix, Grand Tour stages, World Tour classics, and numerous National and State Championships.

I have been coaching, racing and training with power meters since the late 90's and have successfully implemented their use into my training programs. My interest in exercise physiology ensures I keep up to date with the latest scientific studies, with this knowledge being passed onto our athletes.

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.
