ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This event is by and for women. It's an almost-no-drop, rubber-banded Structured Training workout, 5 minutes of warm up and down, 50 minutes of a reasonably stiff workout, throttled to each individual's ability, scaled based on the FTP each rider inserts in her rider profile. Ride of the Valkyries is part of the Slowtwitch Indoors series, joining the Hilly Vanilli, Festina Lente, and the Slowtwitch Rise & Grind, among others.

The workout from ride leader Leslie Knibb. Leslie is an avid triathlete, Slowtwitch regular, and the mother of reigning U23 World Champ Taylor Knibb. Good genes in the Knibb family. Maybe some of it will rub off!

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.

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.
