Happy Christmas! Due to the holiday I’m a bit late with the post this week, but I hope you find something here you can file away and use next Christmas season. First of all, I couldn’t be more excited about the fact the The Beatles are now streaming on nine different services including Spotify and Apple Music! John wrote about it and shared one of his favorites yesterday. This YouTube
Favorite Track of The Week
Ready to try out some brand new music in your next class? This week’s favorite track is a climb at around 65 RPM from “dark pop” girl band MUNA. From their just released album titled About U, Around U has a steady beat with a few slow-downs in the music at :44 and 3:26. It finishes a bit slower starting around 4:30. You can use that final :45 as a recovery or pick
Favorite Track(s) of The Week
Sprints, speed work, accelerations, cadence building drills-whatever you call them, we all use them in our classes. I love collecting songs that have a natural pick up (usually on the chorus) to use for this purpose. Today I’m sharing two of my favorites along with the timing that I use in my classes. I hope you can work them into your next cycling profile! Both songs are by Danish metal band Volbeat.
Favorite Track(s) of The Week
Have you ever watched a commercial and wondered, “What’s that song?”. I’ve seen this Diet Coke commercial dozens of times and every time I see it, I find myself humming this song for hours. I googled it, but could just have easily Shazamed it if I’d had my phone next to me. (If you’re not Shazaming, you should definitely try it! It’s a great way to find and save new
The Great Spotify Debate: Renting Vs. Buying
I get a lot of questions about Spotify, but the one question that I get over and over from people that are interested switching from iTunes is: “Do you own the music?”, or “Can I sync music from Spotify to my iPod or burn it to CD? “ And my answer is always the same: “No, you can’t, but you won’t believe what you CAN do for only $9.99 a month!” Now I

Music to Mention
Welcome to week six of Music to Mention. This week’s music to mention is one of my favorite songs for muscular endurance work: Pump It by The Black Eyed Peas. Muscular endurance is always a challenge for the instructor as there are 3-4 minute sections of the ride, some back to back, where the rider is in the saddle and maintaining a specific cadence and exertion level to achieve the

Music to Mention Week 5
Welcome to week five of Music to Mention. This week’s music to mention is a strenght song that makes groove as I sit here and write this: Treble To The Bass by Swanky Tunes. I use this song for strength work, characterized by a lower cadence (the beat is 128 or 64 rpm) and a heart rate in Mid to High Zone 4 area. This should be hard and questionably
