ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This workout will replicate riding 'through and off' of doing 'chaingang' by completing an unorthodox set of over/under intervals, which aim to replicate the demands of riding in a group and making a surge in effort on the front to 'do your turn', as is required when chainganging or going 'through and off.'

Each of the two blocks will end with a ramped effort, to simulate that last push to the line.

Its advised to turn off erg mode whilst completing this workout as the efforts are relatively short and repetitive (45/15's).

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.
