Cos I'm gonna start this again tomorrow...prepping to finish in time for summer races!

If anyone's up for it, give us a shout and I'll organise a few group workouts over the weeks!

I’m in dire need of building up as currently struggling.

What’s involved roughly, how many sessions per week do you need to commit to?

I'm fairly keen, although not able to commit to more than 3 sessions a week.

I can't start right away as I'm waiting for my replacement Turbo to arrive.

Yes! I have the sane questions as the others, but I need to do something to start shifting weight and lifting fitness.

Hey all!
Here's info about the plan...
Clicky here....

If you stick to it it's a 12 week plan with about 3-4 sessions per week..
BUT.... Zwift got a bit less rigid, so you can work through it at your own pace and weekly sessions...
Thought I'd suggest sticking to 3 sessions per week minimum...

Week 1 is fine:
Devedset, pedal drills (boring) and orange unicorn...

I'm doing devedset at about 6am tomorrow, so of course you can work through at your own pace.. but it's quite fun to do a group workout every now and then...

I'll aim to set one up (maybe STW club) on sat am....

That looks doable, assuming my arse can cope with 90 minutes in the saddle!

mick - i approved yours (and a few others!) club requests...

I see the club now has the ability for group workouts, but NOT the one we want...

I might have to make a 90 minute meetup, and we workout the 'old school way' - join the meetup early, and whilst waiting for it to start (you HAVE to be in the meetup, on the blue virtual turbo trainer), go to menu and pick a workout...

You'll all need to be following me on Zwift (search DrP + STW and you'll find me) so i can invite you to the meetup

Good luck with this guys, as a previous 'survivor' it can get pretty tough in the latter weeks! Good gains to be had though!

I've just started Dirt Destroyer again last week to line up with my trip to Scotland so can't do this, what a shame... 🤣

I need something to fire me up, a spring Mallorca trip usually keeps to in the game but this year wasn't on so the pies and beer have been winning.

Event created for Saturday, 0830..
I've sent kirky and a few others an invite, but I really don't know who people are in zwift!

If you want in.. Let me know!

It's a meetup, with 'keep together' on, so we,er, stay together no matter what power you ride at.
#social

Expect the trademark DrP bantz....

So that's the end of week 2....
3 workouts this week:
Devedset
What goes up (which was actually really hard!)
And Orange unicorn today...

I gave mishmash a miss!

It's starting to click again... Getting used to peddling smoothly again, and getting used to riding through the discomfort!

How's everyone else doing?
