I see there is no 36One On your List of events? I am actually targeting that Race. Also no, Baberton or Sabie races?

And how does the Bi Annual fees work?

Hi Lexx,

 

No problem adding any event into the system. Just logon and request the race you would like in the system and will add within 24hrs.

 

The Bi Annual fees have an option of Unlimited training plans for R1095 or you can just take the analytic's for R450. Will find all the pricing under my services.

I signed up yesterday, very impressed with site, can see its old web devs that done it , still few minor bugs etc, but overall very good.

 

One thing I cannot figure out is:  When you rate your workouts and how you feel, does the plan automatically adjust for more or less load like a real life couch would do?

 

 

 

ps: android app is very much alpha still.. keeps on crashing and RFKT/Cadence etc don't work althouh paired and testing fine.

 

Hi Karma,

 

Please make sure you have the latest update of the app, and if you have any issues please hit the " need help" button we will get back to you ASAP and try solve any problems.

 

The Today's Plan platform builds condition/load by creating a progressive increase in chronic training load. This is derived using a 42 day rolling average of your daily T-Score values. If you're starting CTL is quite big, but, your availability is low the system will need to include high intensity rides with a high IF to allow you to meet the progressive overload projection for the plan and increase your condition and load. As you have said most recent literature refers to using high intensity intervals to gain optimal fitness. The rate the workout give us an understanding of your phyiscal and mental state that will affect your TSB (fatigue). As like less sleep will effect your workout and how you handled the load.

 

If you have any questions please logon and hit the " need help" button and we will help you understand anything in our system to reach your goals.

 

Thanks

Lexx,

 

The events are now in the system and you may add them to your calendar or create a plan targeting those races, make sure you add whether they are and A, B or C priority race as the training plan will take that into account on how you taper into the race.

 

Thanks

I know nothing about these things, I have no indoor trainer, can I use the program outdoors and with HR monitor and GPS only?

I have created a 16-week plan targeting the 36ONE in April 2016. My 36ONE plan only starts on 26 December (Eish ).

 

Any suggestion on a plan I can start on before the above training starts?

Sorry, but there is NO comparison between fittrack and Today's plan training plans.. the one is like giving you a pen en paper and say draw your own mona lisa vs taking you to the the Louvre with full guided tour, almost doing the training for you

 

The mere fact they have Sufferfest training sessions build in and it works on there app sold it to me (now just need to load all of them)

Thanks but canned training plans are very different to dynamic tailored plans with full analytic's which is tailored to each riders individual availability . Todays Plan is very much more than a spreadsheet, it incorporates sensor alerts, utilizes Garmin's workout features which will run you through step by step when on the road along with ERG trainer controls data and we also take riders raw create easy to read meaningful data that riders along with coaches are able to follow. We offer this all for +- R30 per week if taken for a year and is free for coaches to manage unlimited athletes. 

 

Thanks for the interest and hope you sign up for a free 2 weeks to experience the difference.

TP, I'll only be able to experience the difference starting 26 December! Before that I'll inlist a world class coach called Sven Lauer.

[lerouc]

why not?

Just didnt get around to loading my workouts up. Might give it a bash again, looks like some positive feedback from users (with more than 1 post count).

Did that last night, just log a call on the site and they'll fix it quickly

[Lexx]

I did and its fixed now. But now the system doesn't want to give me an option to choose a Training Plan. I feel like an Idiot asking them again to fix something...
