Interview with Marco Pinotti on Using TrainingPeaks in 2008
11 September 2008
Immediately following Stage 3 of the 2008 Tour of Missouri, TrainingPeaks caught up with long time TrainingPeaks member, Marco Pinotti. In the interview, we asked what were Marco’s highlights of the 2008 season, what his goals are for 2009 and how he has used TrainingPeaks so successfully to find the great form and fitness he has shown this year by winning the Tour of Ireland, winning the final Time Trial in the Giro and winning the Italian National Time Trial (for the 3rd time).
TP: What have been the highlights of your season so far?
Pinotti: “The highlight of my season… many things – winning the time trial at the Giro and winning the Tour of Ireland.”
TP: What are your plans for 2009?
Pinotti: “Next year… I would like to ride the Giro again. I would like to ride the Tour de France too…”
TP: How do you use TrainingPeaks?
Pinotti: “[I use TrainingPeaks] to see my training log and to see my critical power [numbers] 5 min, 20 min, 10 min and the evolution of my critical power during the world season and basically to review my training so I can be more accurate in measuring during the season. It is very important to have a consistent season and to peak when you want.”
