Zwift academy workouts?

Dear all,

I have been using Zwift for a few months now, mainly doing group rides and tours. However, I wish to commit to a training programme and like the idea of the academy workouts. With the lighter evenings on the way I will do less on Zwift, but having said that, I will still go on 3-4 sessions per week. I’d like a programme that is well rounded and perhaps leans towards racing. Any suggestions/experiences? What did people think of Zwift Academy? Are they worth doing?

Thanks for your thoughts.

    I completed the Zwift academy (the one before last) including the workouts, scheduled group rides and races. It was good but not great. It gave me a fitness and motivation boost, although there are better plans out there.

    I'm completed the 2018 Zwift academy.
    The races were the best part, the workouts (as above) were average.

    However following a structured plan is still better than having no structure.

    The ftp builders are good too as well as the Academy workouts.

    Thanks all.

    Are you referring to the 10-12 week ftp builder? Has anyone done the 8 week race programme?
