Rowe & King - Tuesday Chaingang
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
This session aims to develop your explosive power, but also your repeatable power, i.e. your ability to produce an explosive effort on tired legs. A fundamental attribute for Zwift racing, IRL racing and even a group ride.
At only 41 minutes in length and 35 stress points, this session should be able to be completed when tired or towards the end of a training block.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Ryan Bevis has raced in 6 of the worlds continents, representing Wales, across Mountain Bike, Road, Cyclo-Cross, Track and Criterium Racing. Ryan is now a Coach at Rowe & King, having spent the last decade specializing in coaching Youth (12-18 y/o) and Veteran (50 y/o+) riders - notching up 17 National Championship Titles and counting for his coached riders.

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.
