TrainingPeaks WKO+ software featured in Outside Magazine

 

Outside Magazine Article on TrainingPeaks WKO+Peakswares desktop analysis software, TrainingPeaks WKO+, is featured in this months edition of Outside Magazine in an article by Nick Heil entitled Run, Rat, Run [read the article here]. A self-described lab rat, Heil spends his time testing out and reviewing unique products like WKO+, a powerful program that allows athletes to objectively quantify and analyze their training. Although initially a bit intimidated by the complexity of the software, the author concludes by realizing that he has a remarkable tool in his hands.

The ultimate analysis software, WKO+ allows athletes using a training device, such as a Powertap or a Garmin, to upload, display and record the data from their workouts. WKO+ is directly compatible with over 40 different devices that track power, heart rate, and GPS data, and includes trademark formulas used to calculate unique metrics such as Normalized Power and Pace, Training Stress Score, and Chronic Training Load.

Gone was the guesswork Id typically applied to my trail runs, writes Heil. I could now plan out a conditioning program around pace-based running that would have all my loops and circuits working for me I could already see myself getting faster.

WKO+ is an industry-leading patented product that provides athletes with an unparalleled ability to quantify their workouts and race performances, said Donavon Guyot, CEO of Peaksware. From the Performance Management Chart to the ability to isolate important segments of data for further analysis, this software allows athletes to monitor, analyze and plan their training over the course of years as well as down to the second.

Such powerful analysis is an essential tool for many athletes, including those who regularly subscribe to Outside Magazine. The publications emphasis on an active, healthy lifestyle is directly compatible with the technical support for such a lifestyle that WKO+ offers. Peaksware is proud to provide athletes with the tools they need to reach their goals.
