Hello everyone! :smile: I’m new here and I’ve come because I’m considering to move from The Sufferfest to Trainerroad and I would like the opinion from people who have made the move as well. Here is a description of the context: I’m 25 and have been riding bikes since I was a child, first MTB for…

[image] dalmo: Did you notice any new gains while following TR plans? Do you miss the 4DP? Do you feel that your VO2max or AC workouts are not as effective as they were with SF? Do you actually feel there is a difference? Are the plans more doable, “realistic”? (the SF workouts and plans have t…

The beauty of being able to switch a workout indoors to outdoors or vice versa alone is worth the money IMHO. A click on your Calendar, then a Sync All on computer head unit, and the workout is there with interval beeps and a graphic for workout progression? Hard to beat.

I’ve been with TR, SF & Zwift, variously for about 4 years and i’ve used them all for different things. I only started road riding 4 years ago and didn’t have any idea what i was doing, especially when i got a trainer. Sufferfest was the first one i found and i had great fun with it. I used to enj…

[image] dalmo: made reasonable gains with their plans, starting from an FTP of 280W to 310W (4.2W/kg) now with an average of about 4-5h per week with a lot of intensity. Only own 1 SF video and no experience with the current plans. A little over twice your age, back in 2015 I got to ~250W ftp…

Thank you very much everybody for sharing your experience! I’ll stick with the Sufferfest until the end of the subscription which ends soon and I’ll give TR a try to see if it fits my needs and expectations. Have a good day!

I think the only way you can get an answer that is worth anything is to try it for a year. It’s very hard to judge something like this in 30 days since that’s not even enough time to go through a single block of any plan. So dive in! The other thing I will say is that improvements are not linear.…

I don’t always follow TR’s plans and don’t have to because they have such a massively extensive workout catalog. Furthermore, you can browse through past rides to see what/how other people did. There’s much more to TR than meets the eye.

TR usually delivers to what they say which is why I prefer them. Sufferfest has been talking about developing an android app for years but it’s never happened.
