EVENT DESCRIPTION
TRI247 WORKOUT SERIES

Every Wednesday at 7pm GMT, Tri247 present a triathlon focused workout brought to you by a guest 'coach.' This will include sessions by pro triathletes, coaches and notable characters associated with the sport.

The workouts are about 60 minutes long and designed to add variety and interest to your weekly training schedule over the Winter.

THE SESSION

Tonight’s set is built around 3 x 15minute ‘climbS’, with the power ramping up every three minutes, before finishing with 15 second ’sprint’ for that mythical KOM.

WORKOUT DESIGNER

This week’s session has been set and will be lead by Triathlon Coach and Sub-9 hour IRONMAN triathlete, Steve Clark.

Steve is a member of the Britcon Triathlon Race Team and runs coaching company, OffThatCouchFitness (http://www.offthatcouchfitness.co.uk/Opens a new window). A former European Age-Group Triathlon Champion over the Middle Distance, in 2017 Steve won the full distance ’Triathlon X’, possibly the toughest iron-distance event around. So tough, it still took well over 14 hours to WIN it! You can read more about Steve’s experience here: https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-features/triathlon-x-steve-clark-winnerOpens a new window

Given that experience, it’s no surprise that the theme of Steve’s session is climbing!


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.
