ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This workout simulates the demands of long climbs where the effort progressively increases. It comes from the recently concluded Power Up Training Camp series of workouts here on Zwift.

You will experience 3 climbs, each 13 minutes in duration, with each climb requiring a different cadence. As the power ramps up between steps, you self-select your cadence before returning to the set cadence. Just like a climb outdoors, the required power will increase throughout the 13 minutes. The workout culminates with a 1 minute above threshold at the top of the climb.

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.
