The Sufferfest

IOC: Recognise Sufferlandria!!!

We didn’t want it to have to come to this, but it’s time for Sufferlandria to be recognised by the International Olympic Committee.

We’re attaching the following letter to a Sufferlandrian Pigeon and sending it to Switzerland tonight.

Sample of a Sufferfest Workout

If you’re interested in the ‘fest, but not sure what it’s all about, we created the video below just for you. It’s one of the actual intervals from our hit ‘A Very Dark Place’ workout. The interval is 4:00 long, and gives you an idea of what you can expect in a Sufferfest video and how the instructions work. The music is on the heavy side, but our videos also feature techno, pop, indie and house.

Triathlete Magazine visits Sufferlandria

When it comes to inflicting pain and suffering, we’re non-denominational: road cyclists, cross, mountain bikers and triathletes. We’re happy to make everyone miserable. So we were very pleased with the folks over at Triathlete Magazine asked if they could review our videos as part of a comparision they were doing with some other cycling workout videos. Here’s what they had to say in their June 2012 issue (click image to see full size):

Ready? We were born ready.

Feel a bit like crying. But won’t.

Victoria Pendelton just won the world sprint championships. That, undoubtably, made her pretty happy. She cried a bit. But while she stood on the rostrum taking her gold medal, she can’t be nearly as emotional as we here at the ‘fest. Here is why:

It really seems like yesterday that we approached the UCI with the rather insane idea of making some cycling workout videos using pro cycling footage. We figured we might sell a few videos to a few friends who had some sympathy for us. It never – ever! – occured to us that there would be so many Sufferlandrians out there and that one day our little nation might be on the world’s biggest stage. Just blown away looking at this photo and kind of speechless. So grateful for everything.
