ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

The main block of this workout is a set of ramps. It's four 10min ramps.

After warming up, we do a gradual ramp up from 80-100% FTP for 8min and then surge from 100-125% FTP over 2min. We then ramp down following the same pattern. 5min break and then repeat.

To take a bit of the edge off, there's a 30sec break between each ramp to give you a chance to catch your breath.

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.
