GC Coaching's structured group workouts are geared towards athletes in
their base phase, so if you are looking for a Hammerfest, this isn't your
ride. These workouts are focused on building aerobic capacity and will
consist of mainly zone 2-4 riding, with some zone 5 sprinkled in at times
for good measure. We will also be mixing up the power, cadence, and
position on the bike throughout the course of the workout further challenge
your basic skills and on-bike flexibility. Come and join us!

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.

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.
