I love the program. Cant think of a nicer, more user friendly program that still gives you the in-depth analysis should you want it. I prefer the program to online. More user friendly, more reports and available offline. You need a polar to upload your excersize and the program is packaged with the program.

Sportstrack is also great I've heard for any other training watch.

I have the polar software which is nice to download your information from your watch to pc. It has a nice calender where you can transfer a training session to your watch to tell you what to practice for the day(I don't use it cause I remember what to do). The nice thing is that it will log your milage per week, hours and hartrate ext. You will almost need the top of the range polar equipment to feed this info. Better idea is to go on fittrack, see on cycle lab, they also have a calender wich tells you what to train, you can get all your buddies to join and you can see your fitnes score grow higher than theirs. Subscription is free, then you buy a training plan acording to the time you have per week, +-R120. IF YOU DON'T MEASURE IT, YOU CAN'T IMPROVE IT!

+1 esp if you are trying to stick with a programme. Put down your planned training at the beginning of the week, and at the end of the week you can see how you did compared to what you intended to do.

 

Well worth attending a polar workshop, if they are still doing them.

I use both online and off-line versions. Main reason why I use the online program is because the TSS is only available online.

[Pieterg]

Is it a training program will it tell you how to train

Stem, ek het ietwat van 'n probleem met myne en dit is dat ek moet "ry" voordat die ding enige exercises log

[Pieterg]

find the training stress thing quite interesting but dont undertand the calculatio and how they aarrive at the red/amber/green indication whether you should train at all, train light or heavy, does anybody know and do you go by that? my threshold is constantly in red and shows it will remain in red for next two days, so does that mean i should not train for two days??

+1 I also find this confusing

I also dont get the own zone, some days the polar says I should train between 75% and 85% then the next day it say 52% to 70% why??????
