Zwift Academy 2023 – Workout #2: Long | Fatigue Fighter

A few downers today to kick us off, but I promise it ends on a positive. I missed my start time. I had this down for the 12 noon GMT set off, but due to rushing (reasons why in a second), I managed to miss the start by seconds and so had the choice of … Read more
