@amn2099 2% great spot to stop right there awesome! See you next week. Make sure to join the WhatsApp group - I will drop the Google meet link there to safe time and hassle in the beginning of the ride. Well done today and nice to meet you !
@Marjaana that link doesn’t work for me
Awesome fun, thanks for organizing @Marjaana. You can see from the look on my face that it was " fun" and not " fun"
You can see from my workout reserve that I slacked off a little on the last set. But I did hit -9% mWR.
You did amazing work and even remembered to snap a photo.
-9% WR! Great job! Look how stable your HR response is …
I’d say you prob hit your vo2max. And based on your comments you probably didn’t have many more reps left - always leave 1-2 in the tank right?!
Again next week!
Really feeling these sessions helping my longer efforts. Especially on rolling hills: after punching up the peak, I feel I’m flushing the lactate much more quickly (or whatever, physiologically speaking, is happening) and I get back to the steady-state pace pretty quickly. The RoB feels stronger, too.
Bravo so amazing to hear!
Hey
New week, new opportunities
Wednesday warriors mark your calendars for a spicy morning session with:
20min warmup (gives us enough time to iron out the inevitable kinks)
3x4x40/20 (last week we did 3x5x40/20) this week we will do 4 x 40/20 and focus on executing the same power all sets with no power drops… so aim at keeping your power throughout the set. If you are able to hold 350w rep #1 try to hold the same average the rep #12
Cool down to 60mins
Note: you don’t necessarily need a zwift connection as I will talk you through the set.
Whoever can hold as close to same power throughout the sets wins a virtual sweaty high 5 and glory for knowing how to pace
Remember to join the WhatsApp group: WhatsApp Group Invite
I will drop the google meet link in the WA group
Give me thumbs up if you are in this week!
I like the challenge unfortunately I might have a schedule conflict. But I will join the week after.
New Wednesday- new possibility to have some intense fun with your new best friends!
Meet up 8:20am CT for 8:30am wheels rolling.
Once we leave the waiting area you cannot join the zwift group (you can still get on the call where I will guide everyone through their workout).
Please come early so you don’t get left behind There is always something that happens right before, like power doesn’t connect, you forgot something etc. I sound like a broken record now, but please show up early.
If you are new:
- look me up on zwift companion app and request to become friends. “Marjaana Rakai”
- send me a message here with your zwift username so I know you want to join tomorrow - I’ll then invite you to the meetup.
- Join the WhatsApp group WhatsApp Group Invite - I will drop the Google Meet link there.
- Show up early and get ready for a hard workout
Tomorrow Wednesday April 17th we will do
Warm up 30mins
3x5x40/20 (aim to keep steady power throughout each interval, and same power level from 1st interval to the last- not an easy thing to do! We practiced this last week, no we add a little more to your plate)…
cool down, high fives!
Who’s in for tomorrow? Reply or send me a message!
MJ
Count me in for the cycling party!

We are back this week with a slight change:
- we will be doing Sprinter’s Playground, consisting of four sprint segments. See the photos attached. We will do several rounds and you control your intensity.
- a little bit easier set this week due to the fact that ride leader (me) is recovering from IMTX.
- you still get to challenge your Fast Twitch muscle fibers, but this will be more of a sprinter’s workout with plenty of recovery in between.
- follow the regular steps to join in the fun!
See you tomorrow
Sounds fun. Quick question what time zone is the 0830 meetup? Just so I can check if it is doable for me (in the UK). Thanks.
Sorry about that… CT US.
Hey ya’ll
This week a little more chill ride as @cmaloney is saving legs for Salty Dog MTB race and I am in the middle of test week.
We will do 1x 4x 30/30s.
To join, you know the drill.
Back at the VO2max Warriors Wednesday:
To join in on the fun,
Read - there’s a few steps you need to do
Note:
- do not use ERG mode on these
- Show up 10mins early… we often come across something we’ve forgotten, and need to fix it… allow some time for the last minute fumble. Once the meetup starts, Zwift don’t allow you to join.
Looking forward to getting a new block of these Wednesday mornings!
MJ
Everyone,
By joining the group workouts, you assume the inherent risk of doing high intensity interval workouts.
