Jennifer Sage loved this class and all but demanded that Tom provide it as an Audio PROfile for our ICI/PRO Members.
RPMx is designed to help riders adapt to higher legs speeds and promote a higher average cadence. The intensities will range depending on how developed a rider’s pedal technique is and how relaxed they remain throughout the drills. Riders with good pedal technique, who remain relaxed, will be able to maintain the various cadences at a lower perceived effort. Complete RPMx PROfile here.

Jennifer’s comment:
I listened to this audio PROfile today, and it was almost like I was there again! Ouch. He’s not kidding when he says that last drill is brutal! But it’s a good brutal, and a practical one that teaches you something about your ability to relax, to control, and of course, to turn those pedals quickly. It’s about your neuromuscular ability, which is fortunately something that everyone can improve with some focused training. It you can’t do it very well now, then it simply reveals you that you need some work in this area.
The great thing about this audio PROfile is that even if you don’t feel like you have the confidence to teach a full profile of just cadence work (yet), then there are some cueing and coaching gems in here that you can apply to other profiles in which you want your students to focus on leg speed even just for a song or two.
This one will help you take your teaching to the next level! Thank you Tom for adding a fantastic resource for our ICI/PRO members.
