FREE Zwift Triathlon Custom Workout Plan
As part of the TRI247 Winter Series on Zwift we have available the custom workout that Pro triathlete and current ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Champion Lionel Sanders used in his Zwift session for you to download. The ‘Intervals’ workout contains three blocks of above-FTP efforts, with short recovery in between each repetition.
As you progress through the session, the length of the reps in the second and third blocks decreases… but the intensity increases! Lionel explained that often we do the highest quality work at the beginning of a session, but he feels you should actually do this at the end, to train good habits of not fading towards the end of a Middle or Long distance race.
This is not an easy session or one to be done on tired legs, but we had over 300 riders complete it together on Wednesday 3rd January 2018, so it is achievable! If you are feeling fresh and really want to go for it during the final couple of 30 second efforts, then feel free to do so… Lionel hit 622 watts during the TRI247 Group Workout!
If you missed the session then don’t worry – you can now do it in your own time!

For details on how to add workout files to Zwift:
The .ZWO file stands for a Zwift Work-Out file. When someone creates a custom workout (whether it be you, a friend, or a coach), Zwift generates a .ZWO file that contains the entire workout. You can share it with your friends or other Zwifters – or add their workouts to your device – by following the steps below.
PC / Mac
Go to your Documents\Zwift\Workouts folder, find the “.zwo” file, and send it to your friend. Any .zwo files you move to your Documents\Zwift\Workouts folder will be added to your custom workouts menu the next time you launch the game.
iOS
In order to add custom workouts to iOS, you need to also have a computer with iTunes installed. It’s not currently possible to create custom workouts on iOS (as of 01/2017).
- Plug your device into your computer and open up iTunes.
- Click on your device in iTunes, then click “Apps” and scroll down to the “File Sharing” section.
- You should see Zwift listed, and it should have a “Zwift” folder. Click that, click “Save To,” and save it to a location of your choice.
- Find the saved Zwift folder, and copy all the workouts you want into the Zwift/Workouts folder
- Go back to iTunes, click “Add,” and choose the Zwift folder with the new workout files. You’ll want to “replace” the folder on the device with your newly modified folder.
- Click “Sync” to save the changes to the device.
When you start Zwift, they will show up in your Custom Workouts section at the bottom of the available Workouts.
