ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

The aim today is to both work on your Anaerobic Capacity, and to also improve your aerobic efficiency.

We do this by completing 5 x 2min AC intervals, before finishing with a 10min Sweet Spot effort. By depleting your carbohydrate stores with the AC intervals, the 10min Sweet Spot effort may not be as comfortable as it should be!

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.
