Training Peaks

[Jono Waddell]

Is it worth upgrading training peaks to the premium version??

As far as i know Premium allows your coach to access your account and load your workouts for you and adjust things daily, hourly etc. as needed.

I am on premium and its great knowing that i wake up every morning and get an email letting me know what my training holds for the day as well as having it laid out

Not sure how this differs from the normal TP but i went straight for the Premium and am super happy with it !

You get all that on standard package.

Premium allows you to "plan" your own training or adjust what your coach has loaded for you.

 

Much of a muchness for me, not sure its worth all that USD

I had it for a month.

If you are running a power meter, it gives extra graphs and info on that.

Other than that not much extra.

 

And yes....on premium you can plan ahead. I did not use that as I have a decent Excel sheet going.

 

You are looking at around R230 if you go month on month and if you buy a year ahead it works out around R1200

 

That said, I am waiting (for months now after they planned Dec-13 as a release date) for the new WKO+4 from them which is the desktop solution.

Payment once off and you should be good to go for around 3-4 years.

Me too. Saw something from them yesterday to say they are still working on it, thanks for your patience.

I opted for the upgrade in the end. Stats wise i am still navigating the system, for me the big plus was being able to plan out the week, month etc. My coach will load a weeks program, and i can make any adjustments, switch days etc so that the program fits into my day to day life.

Do you buy a training plan ?

[Jono Waddell]

I think you can buy training plans through them. Joe Friel and some other coaches have generic plans loaded in the library which you can buy i think.

 

I use a coach. She uploads directly into my calender on a weekly basis.

No, i think you just need a GPS based computer. It all downloads direct into training peaks.
