TRI247 Workout Series: Short And Sweet(spot)
Group Workout
DESCRIPTION DE L'ÉVÉNEMENT
TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES
Every Wednesday at 7pm UK-time, TRI247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest 'coach.' This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.
The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule.
THE SESSION
After a progressive warm/up with three sets of ‘spikes’ to get the legs moving, first up is three blocks of Sweetspot effort, which is close to or just above 70.3 pace. The second half of the session comprises blocks of short intervals, with short recoveries, taking you just above FTP – with partial recovery – multiple times… before a short break, and then do it again. And again.
Overall, it’s a solid session. It’s not in the “brutal / smashfest” category, but is one that you can include within your training quite regularly to provide you with a quality hour of effort.
WORKOUT LEADER
This week’s session has been set and will be lead by TRI247 Editor, John Levison.
A triathlete for approaching 30 years, John doesn't race too much himself these days (but still doesn't want to 'retire'), but spends almost all of his hours either writing on TRI247.com or as a commentator at many U.K. and major international events, including Commonwealth Games, European Championships and World Series races. Zwift is his 'go to' cycling resource, and he is enjoying compiling a range of varied sessions for the TRI247 Workout Series.

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.
