Don't like it

Not what I wanted. I just want the Sufferfest training plans. I don't need this extra confusing, non-intuitive interface.

Great app

My coach gives me my workouts. It interfaces well with my cycling and running devices. Easy to use and lots of helps. Gives lots of data. Love it!

I am a Stage 4 lymphoma survivor and started cycling for health and got addicted. Started using Training Peaks and am training for my first metric century via their plans. Great app, info, and data collection. I am no pro and can understand everything.

Hard to use

I’m surprised there is a paid version for this. If it could track your runs and then include that data in the trends and calendar etc it would be pretty cool. But having to link to other apps and watches etc makes this very outdated. Don’t really see the value in this.

Fantastic for triathlon

A terrific tool for training. I'm working with a coach who creates my training plans, monitors my results, and adjusts based on the data - and I'm definitely seeing results. Absolutely indispensable.

Good App

I like how easy the calendar is to follow and that it syncs with Strava and Garmin. However I am new to most of the workouts so I don't understand the acronyms or terminology and there is no resource to look up what it all means.

Training peaks is the benchmark

If you are working with a coach, training peaks really is the benchmark. If you are self coaching, training peaks becomes a necessity to keep yourself on track and measure your progress. It is easy to use, flexible and dependable. The only issue I have is, (I think), you still need the desktop version to do things like add new equipment. I track my shoe miles, so I need to add new shoes to my list and remove old ones. I haven’t figured out how to do this from the app. I also wish I could push workouts back to Garmin Connect to simplify getting them into my watch. Right now I have to fumble finger them in manually.

Training Peaks= Greedy company

I have been using TP for a long time and it is an useless app unless you are paying for the premium account. You didn’t need a coach a couple of years ago. You could simply use virtual coach to create workouts. They blamed it on technology. The app used to give you fatigue and other metrics, now you need the premium account.

Great tool to communicate to my coach

The functionality is exactly what we need to effectively communicate workout info and comment on it afterwards.

Simply the best and most user-friendly

If you have the ambition to complete an Ironman race, then you must get Training Peaks. It is the only app designed to capture, track, model and predict your future readiness for a race based on easy-to-understand metrics based on the stress experienced by duration and intensity. It all begins by establishing your thresholds for each sport, (swimming, biking and running). Each new workout is then assigned a Training Stress Score (TSS), in relation to your thresholds. One hour at full threshold produces a score of 100. Training Peaks keeps rolling averages of your TSS for you to capture how well you are doing in relation to your personal history over the past 42 days (the past 6 weeks) and the past 7 days. The 42 day average is called Fatigue, because it recognizes that your body remembers the work you’ve performed over the past six weeks. The 7 day average is called Fitness and it represents how fit you currently are. Your Form, or readiness to perform at your best, is the difference between the Fatigue, (42 day average), minus your Fitness, (the 7 day average). If you can remember these 3 concepts then Training Peaks can help you avoid injuries and help you to taper down to be ready for your best performance.
