I definitely think turning off ERG mode for “the hard bits” is the right move for me. However, I do think this was the right thing to do.ģ0 seconds at 375w, in ERG mode, I’d have been doing some 110rpm spinning or something daft. What this meant was that I’d be aiming to “empty the tank” for the first hard effort, and immediately dropping into 3 minutes at FTP – as though that’s some kind of recovery.Īs such, right from the off I was hard at it, and sweating buckets. In other words, turning off ERG mode whenever coming to a sprint section. Going somewhat off grid, I also decided to do the full gas efforts at max power. However, having recently just done something similar, I was fairly confident I’d be OK for this one. My expectation, having looked at the interval schedule, was that the hardest part would be the 10 minutes at 200w / FTP. This actually worked out really well, with the ride marker points – described on screen – almost tying up directly with what I saw on screen. I opted to ride this workout on the Watopia Hilly route. This has become common place now, and will be something I retain from this series. We shall see.Īs with the other Zwift Academy rides, the warmup included an interval at a lower cadence. That said, 6:05 for 55 minutes is such a crappy time for me – right on tea time. So hopefully, tomorrow night at 6:05pm, I’ll take part in the next Yorkshire Recon Ride. I’m a bit gutted to be missing out on Yorkshire, and these special rides.īut… I have done my Zwift Academy workout for the week, and didn’t want to do a workout on Yorkshire. The current “hot map” is Yorkshire, which I haven’t yet ridden.Īs I finished this ride today, there was one of the Yorkshire Recon Rides starting up. I opted to take part in workout #6 – Chase the Breakaway – on Watopia. I look at the schedule, I feel overly confident, and then by the end I am dead as a dodo. I don’t know how it keeps happening, but I keep getting trolled by these Zwift Academy 2019 workouts.
