TRI247 Workout Series: Chase to Race Your Dream
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
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
This session is designed for the early part of a winter training plan, but make sure your Zwift FTP setting is right for this time of year, as if it's still set at peak summer fitness power this session will still bite a bit.
After a short warm up the session goes into 2 progressive blocks of a 5-step ramp into a 15 minute interval block. I hope you enjoy the session and thanks for riding!
WORKOUT LEADER
This week’s session has been set and will be lead by Triathlon Coach and Sub-9 hour IRONMAN triathlete, Steve Clark.
Steve is a member of the Britcon Triathlon Race Team and runs coaching company, OffThatCouchFitness (http://www.offthatcouchfitness.co.uk/Opens a new window). A former European Age-Group Triathlon Champion over the Middle Distance, in 2017 Steve won the full distance ’Triathlon X’, possibly the toughest iron-distance event around. So tough, it still took well over 14 hours to WIN it! You can read more about Steve’s experience here: https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-features/triathlon-x-steve-clark-winnerOpens a new window

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.

Getting started with scored races
You'll need to finish a few rides before you can join your first scored race. With more data we'll be able to recommend the best group for you to compete against.
