Beyond Strava, and Trainer Road, is there a reason to pay for Trainingpeaks – and if so, why? :v:

Not if you use intervals.icu and/or your coach doesn’t connect with you via TrainingPeaks.

I did not know about intervals.icu, thank you so much – & I don’t have a coach, which is why I am debating what tools I should be using.

No, Training Peaks is overrated.

I use it to track all data, including health metrics. It is then the one place where all of my activity and data is visible. But, I don’t use the coaching or other forward planning features — it is strictly a record of what I’ve done. Not sure it’s worth the cost for just that use case.

TrainingPeaks free is a great way to archive stuff, recommended. Have you ever used TrainingPeaks? TrainerRoad analytics are good enough for the basics.

Triathlon support. TR just added running, but it’s implementation is basic at best and there is no support for swimming. If you only cycle I see no reason to use training peaks over TR.

I agree! I use it as an archive. I have a lot of years worth of data in there.

A great feature in TrainingPeaks is Peak Performances where you can see the top 20 rides, I.e. the 20 rides with the highest power for various durations. Would be nice to have this in Intervals.icu or TrainerRoad. [image]

I do like the emails for different HR notifications, but I realize that between strava premium and TR, it is a hefty monthly just for software.

Do you need Trainingpeaks, if you're using Trainer Road?

and in my opinion, no reason not to archive with TP free.
