What Execution Looks Like Inside THE SYSTEM™
This 40-minute Cadence Steps (Level 1) session belongs to Peter Maxwell, a Brown Belt member of THE SYSTEM™. It isn’t just a workout file—it’s years of focused intention and consistent practice made visible.
- Every cadence step ramps up and down with near-identical shape.
- Power sits on the prescription--no ego watts, no ERG-mode.
- Heart rate rises smoothly and stays fully under control.
- High-rpm surges snap into the 110–120+ range, then settle cleanly back to baseline.
- All of it layered on a steady endurance / tempo platform inside the 6×6 Framework (Endurance × Cadence Control).
This is what happens when Training, Application, and Execution finally line up. Even the coach has a coach—inside THE SYSTEM™, Peter shows up as an athlete first, coach second.

Coach’s Notes
“Peter isn’t just completing the workout—he’s executing the pattern. The consistency of each interval, the control of his cadence, and the calm heart rate response tell me he’s ready for the next layer of Black Belt work: the same precision under more load, more fatigue, and real-world race dynamics.”
