The Details: A Very Dark Place

Individual Use - $11.99Group & Class Use - $24.99

You know that ride you’ve done where you thought you went harder, deeper and to a darker place than you’d ever gone before? Well, this takes you further, deeper and darker than that with offically licensed footage from races like Paris-Roubaix and Liege-Bastogne-Liege and featuring pro cyclists like Phillipe Gilbert, Fabian Cancellara, Thor Hushovd and Bradley Wiggins. Like our Downward Spiral and Revolver videos, A Very Dark Place is about maximum effort for shorter durations: in this case, 4:00 intervals.

 

Workout Details

A Very Dark Place was created to work you very, very hard. You need to be both physically and mentally ready (or insane) for this one. It was designed to help you improve your top speed over short distances – covering, or making attacks, getting over those steep short hills and powering down the other side or taking a big pull at the front of the breakaway. Of course, we’re here not just to make you suffer, but to entertain you – so we designed each 4:00 interval with a unique, eh, personality: from steady intensity to aggressive climbing to relentless attacks on the cobbles or on the bergs. You will not get bored – guaranteed.  A Very Dark Place, which is about 54:00 covers:

  • 5:00 warm-up, with Asian racing footage from a member of the OCBC-Singapore National Team
  • 2×30 sprints, from start line of the OCBC Cycle Singapore professional criterium
  • 1:30 rest, because we’re not totally merciless
  • 5 x 4:00 sprints- with 3:00 rest between each interval. Each interval features pro-racing:
    • Solo breakaway in Paris-Nice
    • Small group breakaway in Fleche-Wallone
    • Joining Gilbert and the Schlecks as they attack in Liege-Bastogne-Liege
    • Following Cancellara – and trying to beat him – in Paris-Roubaix
    • Holding onto Wiggins and crew in Criterium du Dauphine
  • 4:00 recovery with some vintage cycling footage

Reviews of A Very Dark Place:

Soundtrack

Our soundtracks have earned a reputation as the best in the world when it comes to cycling workout videos. If you liked The Downward Spiral soundtrack, you’ll love A Very Dark Place. We’re EXTREMELY proud of this collection. Featuring indie and rock, you’ll be challenged by the footage AND the music to keep up.

Group & Class Version

If you intend to play the video in a group, gym or class setting, then you need to purchase the Group & Class version of the video. This edition is licensed for showing in group settings and includes two files:

  • The normal individual version (which, as a purchaser of the group edition you have permission to play in group settings)
  • An ‘instructor’ version, which has no music and no instructions or taunts, but includes the sound effects

Unlike our other Group editions, this one does not come with a detailed workout breakdown PDF (we’ve heard that it’s not really necessary).
