When I got educated as a RPM instructor, we did something called 'The race of truth'

I would really like to do something like that with my RPM team, but since it's so many years ago, I don't remember anything from it, only that I found it awesome....

Can anyone out there help me???

if i'm right the RPM 31 dvd has the 'race of truth' as part of the education session .... :)

Yes, the RoT is on the DVD of RPM 31.  Details are in the education section of the booklet. 

I hope they put it on the CD of a future release so instructors can more easily train with it in the gym.

Ok, thanks :)

RPM31 is the one I don't have.....so I'll just have to order it then :)

 

It's doubtful you will be able to order it, i think you can only order 4 releases back. It's best to borrow from another instructor probably who does have the release

What exatly is the "race of truth?"

you'll find out in your initial training ;) its great fun super hard workout for ur legs, think one leg drills, lots of resistance and a variety of cadences ....

ROT is not really something for members.  Its our special challenge as instructors who want to take our training to the next level.  In Australia RPM 31 isn't available for sale anyway only 35 onwards.  Some of the moves have changed since then.

I certified on RPM 24.  The Race of Truth was the challenge for the RPM format.  Body Pump has a challege too.   24 came with a  DVD that has the challenge on it.  Music and demo .   One leg drills, timed and with resistance.

race of truth is a great challenge. our trainer said "this is as close you will come to dying before it actually happens" ....what a workout, i was wearing my polar watch and when i looked at the graph afterwards it scared me...big time, have been working at 97% of maximum heart rate for a long time.....but it is so great when it is over.....all who go though initial training, enjoy the challenge

Race of truth music and choreography can be ordered from Les Mills. The one in RPM31 is already the old version, there's a new one they're using right now.  If you have the latest instructor manual, the choreography is there so you only need to order the music

It's a great ride.  The profile for the ride is in the back of the manual (I did Release #36).  I can't remember what music we did.  For those of you who haven't done it-it is a challenge, but if you ride outside and do longer rides (70 plus miles)-it's no worse than that.  I just went into my zone-contolled my heart rate-and got it done.  I've suffered way more on some of my outdoor rides.

just done mine and it is wicked felt like doggy waste but it was wicked

 

the challenges are to make sure you are fit to teach what ever les mills throws our way and yes at one point i went green burnt 950 cals in 51 mins so was well happy
