Online Training Tools

14 September 2007 344 views One Comment

Whether it’s hardware, software, motorcycles or tri-gear…I’m a bit of a gadget geek. Paper has never been my thing, so I’ve been trolling the Internet trying to find the ultimate training planning and tracking tool. There are tons of tools out there but nothing that really blows my hair back.

What I would really like to see is a web-based application that captures and seamlessly integrates the following;

  • Planned Training – manually entered or imported via spread sheet
  • Actual Training – imported via Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) sync or manually entered
  • Basic reporting capabilities i.e. time in HR zones, sport, etc similar to HRM reporting details
  • Blog functionality
  • Online tools I’ve signed up for but don’t really use because they lack the bells-n-whistles I would really like to see.

  • www.ontri.com
  • www.triathlete.com
  • www.beginnertriathlete.com
  • www.trigeek.com
  • www.polarpersonaltrainer.com – sync’s w/ Polar HRM but no planning capabilities
  • How about you? What type of training log or tracking tools do you use?

      Shawn, I had no idea you were into Triatalon’s. Can’t help you with the training planning and recording … but I’m intrigued that you are also into motorcycles. Have a look at http://www.spirant.co.uk – one I made earlier

      I’ve given up bike racing, and turned my attention to climbing – and at 41 I’ve been considering whetehr my aged body can withstand an adventure race next year.

      Drop me a line sometime.
