Event Targeted Training Plans – Success for Participants, Coaches & Event Directors
4 March 2008
Event directors, coaches and trainers are using TrainingPeaks to create, distribute and sell event targeted training plans. Training plans increase the coach’s business, extend participation in the director’s event and provide a custom road map for an athlete to follow to their goal.
Training with a targeted plan “will help prepare people to have a great experience on race day” says Rob Lockey, Owner and Coach of Optimize Endurance Services and provider of custom training plans for the Triple Bypass, a cycling event in Colorado with 10,000+ feet of climbing over 120 miles.
Coach Lockey goes on to say, “Clients seem to be happy with the product and the ability for me to answer questions as well as view their data has been helpful. With more and more people utilizing technological means to measure their performance, the TrainingPeaks compatibility really helps them and I to get the most out of these powerful tools. People are purchasing early and making sure they are prepared.”
Melissa Mantak, owner and coach at The Empowered Athlete recently wrote event targeted training plans for a 5 mile running race in Denver, Colorado called the Cherry Creek Sneak. Runners are buying the plans and starting their training early.
Regardless of the event type, length or skill level required, targeted training plans will help make any event successful for the coach, event director and participant.
Event participants can
- Monitor and download data from most devices (HR, Power, GPS, Pace, Nutrition)
- Analyze training trends over time
- Plan their workout routine with the targeted training plan and log workouts anytime online
