After a warm-up, we will move into 2x (15 mins alternating between 2 mins @85% FTP, and a 30 second surge effort (110+ RPM) @105% FTP). We will be mixing up the cadence and position on the bike throughout the course of the workout as well to further challenge your basic skills and on-bike flexibility.
Zwift Run series has in game messaging to mimic the courses elevation. Today we are running the Whole Lotta Lava route, but will be finishing at the arch in the volcano, which is at the 5km mark. The intervals will range from 1%, 3%, and 4% grade.
We start off with a 'spade' interval set off very hard, but short, and gradually reducing the intensity while upping the timeOnly to go back up again! From there, we will move into a progressive over/under sweet spot interval featuring changes in cadence and intensity that culminates in a 1 minute FULL GAS effort! This is a tough workout, but feautures a lot of quality time at VO2 and Threshold and excellent training stress, all in an hour! You can do it!

This is a great workout to do on a consistent basis as it works on muscular strength and endurance! We'll also keep a focus of high torque during the burst efforts today.
5 different interval "amalgams" for your fitness pleasure! We'll mix it up today with position changes, pedal stroke work, longer threshold intervals, and the dreaded 'Shark Teeth' efforts!

Uphill Battle starts off with 3 sets of 5 mins right below Threshold (95% FTP) featuring a 30 second ramp-up to finish (from 100% FTP to 150% FTP). After these, we will be moving onto 2 sets of 30/30s (30 seconds work, 30 seconds rest). The first set is done at 130% FTP for the work interval and 70% FTP for the "rest". The second set ups the ante a bit to 140% FTP for the work interval and 60% FTP for the "rest". Do you have what it takes to finish it? I know you can!
This session aims to replicate the demands of a mountain bike ride / event.
Mountain biking generally involves far more variations in effort compared with road riding - so plenty of surges and time spent being over geared! We also spend a lot of time 'on and off' the power, so short spells going hard to get over an obstacle, followed by a freewheel or very low power on a descent or little dip.
We touch upon all of these aspects in todays session, as we start off alternating every 30 seconds between riding hard at a low cadence, and riding easy - as if we are riding through an undulating single track. Then we make a ramp in effort, which finishes with a 30 second near max effort up a steep, rocky banking!
In today's session we are focusing on 3min VO2 max efforts. However, we are going to escalate the intensity of each interval. Starting with 'hard' and finishing with 'hardest'!

Today, we'll be aiming for around 16mins of VO2 Max time and incorporating a 40/20 interval approach which will challenge you for sure! Let's make it happen today! REMINDER: You can always adjust the FTP bias via the arrow keys on your keyboard, or the Zwift Companion app. Once you get over threshold, using a %FTP for workout prescription can get murky, so always adjust as needed.

Big session today! We open with 6 x 2min Anaerobic Capacity efforts, however the target power increases from 'hard' to 'very hard'! The workout concludes with a 6min VO2 effort featuring the same steady increase in target power.
Escalation features intervals that become harder as the workout elapses. Starting off at mainly sub-threshold intensity, but progressing to very difficult 30/30s for the finale!

Ham Sandwich features sweet spot over/unders, with 30/30s "sandwiched" in between. The over/under intervals are alternate between 2 min @88% FTP and 30 secs @110% FTP. The 30/30s up the ante a bit and alternate between 30 secs @130% FTP and 30 secs @50% FTP. Yes, there are rest breaks, but they are purposely short to keep the heart rate and metabolic demands up. Better eat your sandwich quick before the bread gets soggy...
In Zwift, before pressing the 'ride' button, you have the possibility to enroll in scheduled events. After doing this, you can ride as normal. A few minutes before the start of the event, your avatar will automatically be placed in the starting area for the event, together with all other enrolled riders, after which the event will start at the planned time.
FAQ: What do groups , , , and stand for, and which group should I be in?
Events are categorized into different groups. Groups (4.0+ W/kg) , (3.2-3.9 W/kg), (2.5-3.1 W/kg) and (1.0-2.4 W/kg) are different levels based on the rider's ability. The categorization is based on the ratio of the rider's functional threshold power (FTP) in watts (W) per body mass in kg. The strongest riders are in group , the next strongest in , etc.
Events can be organized for one group or for multiple groups (possibly each having their own event start time, distance, duration, intensity and/or other specific settings).
Group (open W/kg) is open for all riders, meaning that there are no restrictions on the rider's abilities. This category is common for group workouts.
Note 1: In group workouts all riders are kept together in a single peloton, no matter what their power output is. Note 2: There are some group workout events where different workouts are used per category. In those cases the W/kg does not really matter, as the peloton will still be kept together for each category's group workout, but it gives participants the chance to choose which group workout in the event to join.
FAQ: How do I download a group workout to do it myself at another time?
We have considered making group workouts available for download. However, we would need permission from each event's organizer to let people download their workout. It would be unfair to just share their work, after they put in the effort of creating the workout and organizing/leading the event. Therefore, we have not made group workouts available for download. However, there are many other great workouts available on the site (including some workouts originating from events too, shared by their makers!).
