TrainerRoad

TrainerRoad is a cycling training platform that uses AI coaching to learn how you perform and offer cleverer insights into your progress. By analyzing a database of more than 150 million rides, TrainerRoad estimates your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) without requiring any testing, so your training plan is always based on your true abilities.

The service also includes a number of features to help you avoid burnout and optimize your training:

• Early Warning System: Forecasts when you're likely to be fatigued and adjusts your training accordingly to avoid burnout.
• Real-time Adaptations: Automatically adjusts your training plan based on your outdoor ride performances.
• Fatigue Prevention: Gives you rest days based on your fatigue levels to avoid overtraining.
• Masters Training Plans: For older athletes or those with high-stress jobs, it's geared toward fewer high-intensity workouts and better recovery.

TrainerRoad also has a Training Plan Builder that lets you create your own plans based on your FTP, power profile and goals. You can select your plan start date, event type and days of the week you want to train indoors and outdoors. It also includes recovery weeks, accommodations for vacation and time off, and event taper and openers.

There are many training plans for different disciplines:

• Road Racing Plans: Climbing Road Race, Criterium, Gran Fondo, Rolling Road Race, Time Trial
• Triathlete Plans: Full Distance Triathlon, Half Distance Triathlon, Olympic Triathlon, Sprint Triathlon
• Off-Road Plans: Cross Country Marathon, Cross Country Olympic, Cyclocross, Gravity, Short Track, Cross-Country
• Enthusiast Plans: Climb Faster, Endurance, Group Rides, Body Composition, General Health

TrainerRoad works on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows devices. It integrates with other cycling apps like Strava, Garmin, TrainingPeaks, Hammerhead and Wahoo. You can try the system risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

TrainerRoad costs $21.99 per month or $209.99 per year. If you're serious about your cycling, the cost can be justified by the results you'll get from a training plan tailored to your needs and the data you can glean from it.
