Feb 6 - Feb 10
Workout One
Roller Coaster

Duration:

  • Long: 45 minutes 
  • Short: 30 minutes

This aerobic hill workout, featuring constant elevation change, teaches the art of switching gears. Start the opening intervals close to your current marathon effort and crank the incline as you push your effort towards the top end of your lactate threshold (LT). 

What is Lactate Threshold? Also known as Tempo effort, this is a pace you can sustain for longer durations while still moving at a steady clip. Once you hit your LT, you’ll gradually bring the incline down one minute at a time until you’re back at a marathon pace. After a short rest, you do it all over again to finish the session. This workout is great when you’re tight on time and want a solid aerobic run without going to the well.

VO2 Inferno

Duration: 

  • Long: 55 minutes

Refresher: VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body uses while exercising as hard as you can. Kick this workout off with the longer intervals first and work your way down to a fast 30-second finish. After a short break to catch your breath, we’ll hit it for one final round. This session will elevate your heart rate and take your speed beyond your goal 5k race pace, so hold on and keep your eyes on the horizon.

How To Approach the Finish Line Run

Distance: 5k

The Finish Line Run is the final event for the 2023 Zwift Academy Run program. The goal? Run as fast as you can for 5k. Every step counts if you’re competing for a spot on the Zwift Run team. We recommend treating this event like a race by giving yourself at least 48-72 hours of recovery before you head to the start line. Show up well rested and ready to get after it. Good Luck!
