This is our first weekend with Zwift Academy 2020, so lots of Zwifters will be taking part in those group workouts and social rides. We’ve got a few other special events as well, so read below for details!
Special thanks to Jesper at ZwiftHacks with his Events app which provides powerful event filtering tools that help us create this list each week.
Zwift Academy Workout #1
Ready to take on the first workout of Zwift Academy 2020? This one’s a doozy, with several intervals totalling 15 minutes above your FTP, followed by an 8-minute all out effort. Pacing is crucial. Good luck!
Multiple dates and times. See times slots here: men’s events / women’s events
Zwift Academy Group Ride
Looking for a short, easy-paced social ride? Why not try one of the volunteer-led Zwift Academy group rides? This weekend we’re riding on France’s R.G.V. route… rides are only 45 minutes long, with two categories so you can pick your pace.
