Tom Scotto provides this Audio PROfile for our ICI/PRO Members.
RPMx is designed to help riders adapt to higher legs speeds and promote a higher average cadence. The intensities will range depending on how developed a rider”™s pedal technique is and how relaxed they remain throughout the drills. Riders with good pedal technique, who remain relaxed, will be able to maintain the various cadences at a lower perceived effort. Complete RPMx PROfile here.
You can download the special music Tom uses for this class here.
Here's your Spotify PRO/Playlist! Deezer. We have made every attempt to replicate the original playlist. In some instances the tracks specified were unavailable in Spotify. When necessary we have substituted individual songs of similar length and tried to maintain the Instructor's intent.

could play Tom’s music but having probs downloading on a mac??
Bonnie, I have a Mac and got it to work. Right click the file, then select “download linked file”. It goes into your “Downloads” folder first (or wherever you have it set up in Settings for downloads to automatically go). Then once there, double click it and it should go into your iTunes.
At least mine did – I’ve found these things aren’t always standard from computer to computer depending on how you’ve got it set up or what version you have.
Got it! Wow! awesome profile. Going to use it on Wednesday for my speedplay ride> Thanks Tom!
Great profile! Would love some suggestions for 7 min songs that are 100rmp for the steady state interval.
Thank you,
Leslie
Leslie,
I could not find a 7 min soung but used “If I ever lose my faith in you” by sting and finsihed with Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders!
The class went wild….makes me wonder if I could possibly take on one new technology and mix it up some myself!!!
Ha-ha…no!

Tom et al,
I’m studying this profile and am looking forward to running it with my classes this week. I have a question I was hoping you could help me with. I always thought that as a cycle instructor, it would be preferable to train riders to lower their natural cadence and help them become more comfortable riding at slower tempos. With a realistic gear, isn’t this a closer experience to being outdoors than not? I still question a lot of riders interpretation of actual workload especially if they haven’t experienced riding outside which many gym members and die hard spin class attendants don’t have. I understand that a cycle class is a condensed version of a road ride. Some riders take all they can squeeze out of an hour both aerobically and physically. As I continue to offer students a greater understanding of the science behind cycling, I keep wondering if you have something in your repertiore that offers the opposite experience?
