Hello all,
In case you have not heard, we have a great new initiative with the club training plans. This year, the plans will be available only on TrainingPeaks. It's a major step up from the excel sheets of last year and you will be able to see tons of information on your progress throughout the year.
For those of you who aren't aware of it, TrainingPeaks allows you to see training laid out in calendar format, upload your data to view and also add/modify sessions as required and add your own comments after training session. You can also record data like sleep & fatigue levels and get weekly training stress scores. Over time, this data is absolute gold dust & you can see patterns emerge in your fitness and your fatigue levels. You will need a premium account for a lot of the features, but Triathlon Ireland do a discount of 20% for their members so it works out at roughly €80 per year. You should also get a free month when you sign up on the TP site so you can try it out before deciding to buy.
There is also a free version where you can just get the plans with a few less of the data screens - this will be absolutely fine if you are new enough to the sport and just want to do the sessions.
Our coach, John Caffrey, has done great work in ensuring the plans are easy to access and use with minimum fuss at the start of every month and our run coach, Emmet, has again done great work in setting up run sessions that will have everyone running better very quickly.
**All you have to do to access the plans is join up for 2018 and we will send a link and a user guide at the end of every week.**
As usual, all questions and suggestions to training@belparktri.ie
Thanks,
Conal
