What Is TrainingPeaks?
If you don’t know already, TrainingPeaks is software that provides the complete solution for smart and effective endurance training, and is suitable for both Athletes and Coaches. It is what I use for planning my Ironman Training and workouts, as a plan slots right in and gives you daily calendar info on what training you have scheduled, and it even syncs with your Google Calendar and can send daily reminders to keep you on track.
Who Uses TrainingPeaks?
TrainingPeaks solutions are used by Tour de France teams, IRONMAN® World Champions, Olympians, and age group athletes and coaches around the world to track, analyze and plan their training.
How Much Does It Cost?
They offer a free plan, plus a paid for premium plan, details of what each plan includes can be found on their website here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/pricing/
I went for a Premium Plan, but I believe if you purchase a training plan it can also be used on the Free Plan.
How Do I Get A Training Plan On Training Peaks?
There is a wide variety of training plans to choose from, suitable for Triathlon, Cycling, Running, Swimming, Duathlon plus more. Check out the details on their website here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans
