This Week at Peloton Has Long Workouts to Power You
This Week at Peloton: Try a Long Workout!
The schedule this week brings the heat with a mix of serious endurance tests, long workout sessions, and crucial recovery moments. Whether you’re tackling a long workout or focusing on recovery, the lineup features opportunities to push limits on the Bike and Tread, followed by necessary moments to slow down and reset. For members looking to plan their week, here is the breakdown of the standout classes dropping on the platform.
Class of the Week: Hannah Frankson’s 60-Minute EDM Ride
Hannah Frankson returns to the 60-minute format with a live EDM ride. This marks her eighth ride of this length, making it a rare and special occasion for the community.
When: Saturday, January 31st at 7:00 AM ET / 12:00 PM GMT
Why This Class Is a Must-Take
- Rare Format: Hannah does not teach 60-minute rides often. When she does, she brings a level of planning and intensity that distinguishes these sessions from standard 30 or 45-minute classes.
- The Live Energy: Taking a 60-minute class live offers a different level of accountability. The Leaderboard will be full of riders committed to the long haul, creating a massive group endurance vibe.
- Perfect Weekend Start: An early Saturday morning sweat session sets the tone for the entire weekend. Finishing a rigorous hour of cardio before 9 AM provides a sense of accomplishment that is hard to beat.
Three Key Benefits
- Endurance Building: Sustained effort over an hour trains aerobic capacity more effectively than shorter bursts. It teaches the body to utilize fuel efficiently.
- Mental Resilience: Staying engaged for 60 minutes requires focus. It trains the mind to push through boredom and fatigue, a skill that translates off the Bike.
- Higher Caloric Burn: Naturally, a longer duration results in a higher output and calorie burn, maximizing the workout efficiency for the day.
The Power of EDM
Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is uniquely suited for indoor cycling. The genre relies heavily on consistent, driving beats and dramatic “drops.” These musical structures naturally dictate the ride’s structure. The build-ups create anticipation for resistance increases, while the drops provide the perfect cue for breathless pushes or sprints. It removes the need for over-coaching; the music tells the legs exactly what to do.
Why Hannah Frankson?
Hannah is the ideal coach for this genre and duration. Her coaching style is direct and no-nonsense, yet incredibly supportive. She understands the club culture where EDM thrives, bringing an authentic appreciation for the music. She knows how to manage energy levels over a long duration, ensuring riders don’t burn out in the first 20 minutes while still delivering a challenging finale.
Hitting the Tread for a Long Workout: Distance and Discipline
The Tread schedule is equally robust this week, featuring a new bootcamp and a serious distance run.
New Walking Bootcamp with Matty
Thursday, January 29th at 9:00 AM ET / 2:00 PM GMT
Matty Maggiacomo brings a 30-minute Walking Bootcamp. This is perfect for those who want the intensity of a floor workout without the high impact of running intervals. It proves that low impact does not mean low intensity. Expect steep inclines and heavy weights.
60-Minute 2000s Run with Becs
Saturday, January 31st at 9:30 AM ET / 2:30 PM GMT
For the runners, Becs Gentry is leading a 60-minute session. Becs is known for her technical coaching and form cues. Combining her expertise with a 2000s playlist adds a layer of nostalgia to the long run. It is a solid choice for anyone training for upcoming spring races or looking to build base mileage.
Recovery: Flow & Let Go
Recovery is not optional; it is essential. The “Flow & Let Go” series with Aditi returns this Saturday, offering a stacked approach to mental and physical release.
- 30-Minute Flow & Let Go: Saturday, January 31st at 9:30 AM ET / 2:30 PM GMT
- 10-Minute Flow & Let Go Meditation: Saturday, January 31st at 10:10 AM ET / 3:10 PM GMT
These classes are designed to be taken back-to-back. The yoga flow opens up tight hips and hamstrings, which you’ll likely needed after the week’s rides and runs, while the subsequent meditation settles the mind.
