There's plenty of times when a fun, lighthearted flat is exactly what your participants (and maybe you) need between a pair of threshold efforts. You'll give everyone permission to recover and lighten up, by offering up a noticeable change in the music, from really intense - to free and easy. You won't have to say a word. Let your music dictate everything and watch as riders relax and smile.

It's one of the few multitasking activities I find I can do effectively = bouncing between replying to emails and scrolling through to music, listening for the aha moment; "that could work!" Unfortunately, if you're working one of the Top 50 lists you have to wade through a bunch of foul (this crap is popular?) before you find anything of value.
Occasionally you're rewarded by a real gem 🙂
Don't forget to have a "Future to Use" Folder where you can compile these tracks for your next playlist. Up at the top navigation > File > New Playlist Folder to create an unlimited number. I have sub folders, inside the main folder, based on RPM > Unbreakable Smile is tucked into my 90ish RPM folder!

Just make sure what follows is super intense. We don't want them going easy for too long... do we?[/wlm_private]
