I find that the right playlist can make or break a hard interval session. I’m always looking for new music that keeps me pushing when the legs are screaming. What do you listen to during your toughest workouts? Any go-to artists or playlists that never fail you?
So many of the Sufferfest workouts have it just right. I am thinking Team Scream, The Chores, Recharger.
Right now I am doing some work and have a Spotify playlist running, called The Sufferfest: EVERYTHING. It was put together by a certain David McQuillen.

@davijen57 Lots of grunge rock and metal but also jazz and folk for some of the more endurance and sweet spot workouts. Lately I have been mixing in this band for intervals. They are from Canada and I saw them live this summer.

Mostly this at the moment Spotify
Some punk, metal and the Rocky soundtrack lol
Typically, my Workout Playlist; built from bands like Windrose, Gloryhammer, and Powerwolf. I.e. mostly fantasy and sci-fi themed melodic metal, with some epic soundtrack music mixed in.
Nine Hammers has its own playlist derived from that.

Yes!
Still can’t decide if i like it or just find it interesting…
@Lucas_Ferry Yeah - totally get that. When I saw them live the music was really really loud but they then came up on a Spotify playlist (think maybe the song Sherpa) while I was doing intervals and it really was perfect. The costume time traveler concept is pretty funny.

I love most of the Sufferfest music, tho not all.
I like all kinds of music and I like the varied and eclectic mix in most videos. But I also particularly like electronic music and a lot of it really hits perfect. Tho I know that doesn’t work for everyone.
I have a playlist I’ve curated over the years that includes a number of Sufferfest tracks along with a number of “Sufferfest-inspired” tracks. Depending on my mood I may listen to it in order or shuffle it or listen to the parts that I’m feeling at the moment.
KMFDM, Nitzer Ebb, Ministry…
But for the Open and/or recovery rides, I’m typically tune into 93millionmilesfromthesun (yes, no spaces)

A playlist built around fast, steady tracks can make hard efforts easier to pace; The Prodigy and Pendulum are good starting points.
