Training Peaks had the great pleasure to attend the first T-Mobile Team meetings in Lugano, Switzerland October 13-15th. The T-Mobile professional cycling team will be using TrainingPeaks.com and our desktop analysis software, Cycling Peaks WKO+, to manage all 30 riders' training and race data. Combined with SRM power meters which seamlessly integrate with WKO+, makes for a powerful and useful combination to better manage rider data and training. The use of Training Peaks products is also a part of T-Mobile’s anti-doping program, which will also include mandatory random testing in addition to the normal in, and out-of-competition testing.

Good luck to T-Mobile Team in 2007 and look for more team training and race reports to come.

“This is a historic partnership when it comes to managing training and race data at the highest levels cycling performance,” explained Training Peaks’ Dirk Friel. “T-Mobile is a Formula One team on wheels, and just like with Formula One cars T-Mobile can now accurately track the output of every rider’s engine.”

There are very specific differences between our “free” log-only version of our on-line training log versus the premium paid subscription. With the paid subscription you get full access to all the features in our Self-Coached subscription. This is considered the Premium version which allows you full access to all our training and nutrition features. Training Peaks Log-Only version provides easy to use logging features for recording your workouts. In log-only it is essentially just that – a place to log what you are doing. The monitoring, analyzing and planning features are reserved for the paid subscription customers. But the great thing about using the log-only version when you aren’t in a paid subscription mode with us, is that your data is stored and saved for you. If at a later time you decide to sign up again, or access one of the coaches in our network, your training data will be ready and waiting for you.
