ICG Master Trainer Jim Karanas presents our latest Audio PROfile. Race-Day rides have been part of indoor cycling since it began. However, few instructors use the profile effectively. The Criterium is the most fun and simplest race to simulate in an indoor environment. Also, you don’t have to have raced a crit to cue this workout. It is, in my opinion, the easiest and most fun race-day workout to offer your students.
Here is the PROfile .pdf to download and print.
Here's a fascinating video that may give you some perspective on what goes on during the opening laps of a crit 🙂 Watch the amount of power that's required to stay with this very competitive bunch of Pros and the jockeying that occurs... and then consider they will do this for 90 minutes! This video is one of twelve that you can find here.

I’ve added the Spotify playlist link above. There are some real gems in this that I would encourage you to sample 🙂
For Canadians without spotify can we have the play list ?
Roberto the complete playlist is included in the PROfile at the end.
Hello,
As a virtual criterium ride, Robbie Ventura offers a Race Day ride that truly gives you a visual sense of being in a criterium. Nice job on podcast and description of ride.

There is a Crit in Baltimore’s Patterson Park. So I modified the profile a little. Created pictures of the course with May My Ride and showed these for each leg of each lap. More riders are now convinced that you can get a great workout and spend a lot of time in the saddle. Out door riders really liked in because they really felt the outdoor stye. Thanks Jim and John for this profile
