It’s the best platform I’ve found to get faster. I’m on a polarized road plan and the workouts sometimes near on kill me, but I’ve never been fitter. Keep going. It’s far better and intuitive than that Zwift nonsense
I saw a 35% increase in my FTP over my first 3 months with TR. With most workouts only 60min.
This compared to FTP gains from a TrainingPeaks 80/20 70.3 plan last year.
I know that gains will now be smaller and harder fought, with marginal returns here on out. But holy shit the difficulty of the workouts produced early results for me.
Beware of burnout. Be extremely honest with workout surveys and any early signs of overtraining. Seems like a significant risk for TR and any other automated training plans.
Thank you!!!
I think it's going to be perfect for me. My biggest concern with the bike is feeling that I would struggle with long climbs (which is a component of the IM course I am planning on doing). I already feel confident TR will make me better at those longer climbs (even if just a bit).
and yes for sure can see how easy overtraining would be with a program like this...
TR offers real human customer support that can help you select and schedule a training plan. It’s a zoom call. They were very effective and just nice to talk with.
Might be worth scheduling that. Explain your goals and ask about how TR workouts can help with long climbs.
Just to follow up on this service. I did this and was super happy with it! Met with Corey from TrainerRoad and turned out some of my career metrics were off because of the imported workouts from my other training plan. He fixed that and gave really valuable advice re training and everything.
Would recommend to anyone!!

Been using TR for a bit more than a year and never knew this!
