I put together a new playlist this week after several weeks of climbing work. This one isn’t too focused on climbing, but a lot of intervals. Play around with the accelerations– wether you focus on speed, strength or out of the saddle work. Here is the Spotify link: cycle tunes 11.15.12 Enjoy!
- maroon 5 – one more night (3:40) : i can’t stop singing this song! so catchy. starting here with stretching/warm up.
- emeli sande – wonder (3:23) : another song i love. initial climb here, nothing crazy. continuing warm up.
