Interview with the king of Sufferlandria
There is one thing for sure. I despise riding inside. I would rather ride out in the weather or do something else entirely, like go for a walk or run. Yes I have watched videos and even have all the fancy trainers and gadgets in the lab. But I still find riding indoors incredibly boring.
That is until I found the Sufferfest videos
David and I connected via social media and have been exchanging emails for 6 months. The truth is that I had never tried any of his videos because I thought. “whats the point I hate riding indoors”
Needless to say since doing the workouts on the videos I can honestly say that some masochistic side of me now enjoys riding indoors. I do the videos on my rollers with the videos playing on one of my big screens in the Bicycle Lab studio.
These are not your typical workout videos
Essentially you are watching video clips from within the pack of a pro races. The workout intervals are posted up on the screen along with this weird stream of comments that are sometimes silly, motivating, dramatic, and even funny. In short the videos keep you entertained while giving you a very good structured workout.The Sufferfest: Downloadable Cycling Workout Videos
About this Audio Interview
In this interview I talk with David McQullin. David is the creator of the Sufferfest videos. These are workout videos that use clips from real races that make for interesting and effective workouts. David and Victor talk about the videos and how the whole project got started. He talks about how he created his own country and his creative process and even his cryptic messages in his email signature.

I am so glad that the cold season is over but on days like today it would be great to have the “extra inspiration” to get that indoor ride done. Thanks for sharing!
Outside is always best, but these videos (ironically) save my sanity in the winter months. They make the hour go by quickly and I get a great workout in the process. We just had a week of warm weather, and I was able to ride outside – the Sufferfest videos made the rides SO much better. I was able to ride hard and recover quickly.
@AlScher I agree. They are entertaining and provide a great work out. When one is your fave?
@LadyJoanaGonzalez Thanks for the comment.. I am sooo glad its finally warm
@BicycleLab It’s really hard to say. In terms of preparing me for my outdoor rides, probably Fight Club. Revolver is a unique kind of torture though, and I get a twisted pride when I finish it. The differences are small to be sure.
@BicycleLab these sound like great work outs @sufferfest …will have to give them a try
