EVENT DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the RAD RACE Group Workout Series, 12 weeks of workouts designed by RAD RACE Cycling! With VO2 max intervals and team training sessions, the RAD RACE team aims to put you through your paces and bring your fitness game to new levels.

Designed to keep you in top form over the winter season, this series will increase your maximum speed as we come into spring. Workouts kick off December 4 and continue every following Wednesday for 12 weeks at 7 p.m. CET (with the exception of Christmas Day).

In true RAD fashion, these workouts are about expanding our pack of the raddest riders in the world. Join in. Experience the fun.

WORKOUT


This is the place where the magic happens - where maximum oxygen uptake is required. We try to spend some time at this intensity without getting too deep in the red and pushing lactate values to the maximum.
We try to ride on the thin line between maximum aerobic capacity and maximum anaerobic capacity. The right intensity depends on individual physiology and requires proper testing, somewhere around 120-150% of your ftp.
One marker for the right intensity is the heart rate during a block of 30/30s - the heart rate should rise over the first 1-3 efforts within a 5 min block. When you hit max heart rate in the first or second 30 seconds - intensity is too high! Heart rate should also rise from the first block to the third block. Maximum heart rate of this workout should be below your absolute max heart Rate!



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.
