Plan Description
Made to be used in Zwift, this plan contains Zwifting tips along the way and helps you to make the most of your smart trainer riding in the virtual world of Zwift! If you are riding in Zwift and ready for a plan built by Hunter Allen, this is a great place to start. The included plan has been converted to Training Peaks structured workout format, called Workout Builder and you can connect your Zwift account to your TrainingPeaks account and all the workouts will "automagically" appear inside Zwift each day!!!! Not only will you see your individual training targets and zones for each workout through the daily workout e-mail reminders and mobile notifications, but you will also see a graphic representation of the workout within the Training Peaks web portal and Training Peaks mobile app. Now you can quickly get a sense of the entire Workout by taking a look at the visual representation which will show you the individual workout elements like warm up, main set(s) (including interval efforts (based upon your FTP) and cool down. You will no longer have to read through the full narrative and in some cases interpret it and calculate your FTP in order to grasp the task at hand.
Structured workouts built with the Workout Builder can now be exported for use in third-party apps and select devices including Garmin, Zwift, TrainerRoad, CycleOps Virtual Training, RacerMate, Hurts Ergo and more. Simply click “Export” after building and saving your workout and select the proper file format For more detailed information regarding exporting workouts go to http://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000325647-Structured-Workout-Export
