(ZWIFT MOBILE LINK >>> http://zwift.com/events/view/44053)
The week’s TRI247 Winter Series group workout on Zwift will be lead by TRI247 Marketing Director, Paul Shanley.
“Paul’s enthusiasm for triathlon far outweighs any talent he has in the sport”
Having returned to long distance racing last year at IRONMAN UK Bolton, Paul has really got the long distance bug again This year he will be “Going On Tour” with the UK & Ireland team and is planning on taking part in all of the races: That is four half IRONMAN and two full IRONMAN races.
The training session is titled Pyramids and is a series of 3×11 minute pyramids just below, at and just over your FTP (Paul was actually born in Egypt, so is a big fan of Pyramids!).
Here are the details on Paul’s Pyramid Session workout:

Look for the TRI247 Winter Series event in the list on the right of the screen once you have paired your sensors. Click to JOIN and you will be taken to the start line ready to begin the workout.
Make sure you have set your FTP level correctly before you join the workout as all the intervals are based on a percentage of FTP so it is important to get that right. If in doubt, dial the FTP number down 10 or 20 watts as it is better to finish the session than to feel like it is too challenging.
If you have never used Zwift before but don’t want to miss out, head to the Zwift support page for tips on how to get the most out of your setup.
After the session head over to the TRI247 Facebook page for some post ride chat.
Zwift Group Rides: TRI247 Winter Series
The cool thing about a group workout on Zwift is that varying levels of ability can ride together in a group and all finish the session together having done the same relative effort, even if the actual watts are significantly different. It is not a race, but a shared goal to get a good session in the training log.
