This drill is perfect for those who are just learning how to teach with power. It shows your riders very clearly how heart rate response can be very different at different cadences, even when output is the same. This drill may become a “light bulb moment” for your riders and their understanding of how power—and their body—works! For that reason, it may be the most important educational drill in your repertoire. READ MORE…

Welcome to The On-Ramp: A fun way to learn how to approach crueling, leg grinding, lung searing sustainable efforts. READ MORE…

Over the course of our OCD series, we will be introducing you to different cadence drills to implement in your classes. This first one is great for beginners and those new to cadence-based coaching.

We are Obsessed with Cycling Drills! This drill is pulled from one of my most popular profiles I ever created called Loop de Loop, a mountain bike simulation. But it is so much fun, and so challenging, that there is no reason why you can’t incorporate it into many other profiles. I’ve got three song suggestions for you; I’d love to hear what songs you would use for this drill! READ MORE…
