Why do I need Training Peaks when I have TR? I’m all in with TR I do keep some data on Garmin Connect because it tracks equipment usage etc I’m a little anal that way… and because I started on GC before TR. TR is working for me. I’m 6months into TR I have completed three tng plans( SSB low Vol 1, SSB Mid Vols 1 & 2) and now I’m in the Build Phase enroute to my A race. Soooooo, why do I need Training Peaks??? ---

I used to use TP extensively (the standalone version), but it was too much of a pain re-licensing to individual computers, particularly when I had a hard disk failure. That was pretty valuable when I was really into training analysis, but over the last few years the TP premium Web version has been OK. However, can’t see the need now TR has made leaps… ---
