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 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
