EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

The goal of the workout is to build strength through the full range of motion without too much aerobic or anaerobic strain on the cardio system. Try to balance the fatigue you feel in your legs with the intensity you are using from a cardio point of view.

10min Easy Spin W/U @ 95rpm @ 65-75% effort, Include some up tempo efforts both in and out of your seat in your W/U.

Main Set: 3 x 7min @ 70-75RPM @ 75-80% effort (zone 3) if the 7min sets feel too easy lower the cadence rate by 5-10rpm to use your strength more and cardio less, remember this is a strength focused workout. With 3-5min recovery spin between sets (depending on recovery rate and how the legs feel.)

W/D with left over time @ 90RPM+ mixed Terrain.

This workout comes from Slowtwitch regular and Ride Leader Lawrence Landrigan.

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.
