This iconic bicycle race now includes a women’s version! Weather forecasts show that it will be an epic first edition with heavy rain on the horizon—one of the things that makes this race so iconic and challenging on the slippery, muddy pavé (cobbles). Here is an updated profile and playlist to use (whether you depict the men’s or the women’s race).

I have provided two versions for coaching this high-intensity interval profile. One is with power (watts) and the other is with perceived exertion, for when you don’t have power meters. It’s perfect for those new to teaching with watts. It’s a very challenging profile and not for the faint-hearted. For that reason, I also include a fair amount of cueing suggestions on how to give permission for riders to back off or sit one (or two or three) of the intervals out.

We give you the science behind the benefits of tempo climbing and provide the cues (including some humorous ones) so you can easily describe this to your riders. The benefits will have them chomping at the bit to do more of these types of profiles more often!

This profile and playlist are on fire! I originally created this ride for the Tokyo Olympics and refer to Olympic athletes throughout, but it doesn’t have to be a profile you use just during the Olympics. Use it anytime you want a motivational, empowering ride. It makes a great “master class” for a special event.
