Time for a “new” review. Up next for me today was the remastered Do As You’re Told.
I knew this one had retained a bunch of the old SUF stuff but when I first looked at it, after its initial remaster, the team car guys had lost some of their credentials and there was some other inexplicable missing SUF stuff while much of it was retained. That just flummoxed me. Fast forward to today. Much of the feedback provided must have been incorporated here cuz this one has now shot to the top of the SUF idol charts, with a bullet 
From the start of the vid and for a full 6-8 mins of the video I was smiling at all the unadulterated SUF of it. One of the things I love most about SUF was that it never took itself too seriously while simultaneously getting us to seriously suffer. It’s magical when it works and this one works.
Not only is this a GREAT workout (as we expect with SUF) with a tough set of matching intervals followed by another tough set of inverse intervals it also has all the tongue in cheek, self deprecating humour, GvA references, grumpy cat saying “you call that suffering” or something to that effect. The guys got their PhDs back (woot woot) the gradient sim is near perfectly integrated for the Climb/Kickr Bike v1/2/Pro, the soundtrack is the same and the cycling footage is really good. First the men’s race, then the women’s and the efforts required of us match so closely it’d be super nit-picky of me to critique it, so I won’t even bother. And, tbt, there was a couple of moments where I was either staring at either my stem or the countdown clock so…
Great cycling footage. Great job of matching efforts to on screen footage. 100% repeatable. I’ll look forward to doing this one next time it pops up (or I’ll sub it in if something I’d rather not do shows up in the plan).
My only criticism, and while it’s a minor one considering what a good job has been done with quite literally everything else about it, is after all the work is done, just before the start of the descent, the onscreen text says “you’re one step closer to becoming a better athlete” (see time stamp in image)
That sounds much more Wahoo than SUF. Just prior to this it says we crushed it..and Well Done Today! I’d have rather it just ended there.
