Why ride it

Blocks at 88 to 92% of FTP. Time-efficient work that lifts FTP and muscular endurance, so your all-day pace becomes a smaller fraction of your ceiling.

At 1 h 34 min, treat this as fueling practice too: eat and drink on a schedule from the first hour, using what you plan to carry on the day. MeepMeep prompts you for carbs, fluid and sodium and tracks what you eat against your target.

Use the .zwo file

The download is a standard Zwift workout file with targets as a percentage of FTP, so it scales to you.

  • MeepMeep: no download needed. Open it in the app, pair your trainer and ride in ERG.
  • Zwift: put the file in Documents/Zwift/Workouts/<your Zwift ID>, then find it under Custom Workouts.
  • TrainerDay, intervals.icu and others: import the .zwo into your workout library.
