Key takeaways
  • Use high-energy songs with strong rhythms for sprints.
  • Don't just chase BPM-match the feel of the song to the drill.
  • Focus on the overall energy, not just a single beat drop.
  • Vary your sprint music to keep riders engaged.

Sprints are what make cycling fun and is the drill that everyone remembers. Everyone LOVES the feeling of peddling FAST! And the music takes you there!

Finding the Beat Drop for Sprints

If I'm being blunt, matching your sprint intervals to the exact second the music peaks is the hardest part of class prep. You want that massive rush of energy to hit right when the resistance gets heavy and the legs start moving fast. But digging through Spotify to find tracks with the right build-up takes hours of scrubbing back and forth.

That is exactly why I built On the Beat. It lets you filter songs specifically by beat drops and BPM, so you actually know when the interval hits without guessing. You get your prep time back, and your riders get a class that makes sense.
