TrainingPeaks member profile: David Hirsch, private banker and triathlete
28 October 2009
Director of Credit Suisse in Chicago and a father of five, David Hirsch doesn’t have too much free time left over for triathlon training. However, with the help of TrainingPeaks and his coach, he’s able to manage his schedule efficiently enough to put in the hours necessary for Ironman training.
“If I don’t get my training in during the morning, it usually doesn’t happen because there are too many things going on schedule-wise or I just don’t have any energy. With TrainingPeaks, I like the fact I can communicate with my trainer. I haven’t used a trainer up until the Ironman distance, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking anything… It was very valuable to have him check in and put little things on my calendar, make sure I was paying attention, and I’d try to give him some feedback, if something was hard or I wasn’t able to do a workout he’d say well, you know, make sure you get this or that workout in.”
