Training Peaks Introduces Customized Interactive Training System for Events

World class training system with fully interactive training plans available to event directors. Sign up for the program at www.trainingpeaks.com/events

Boulder, Colo. (PRWEB) November 1, 2005 -- Training Peaks, LLC., the leading provider of interactive software and services to endurance athletes and coaches (www.trainingpeaks.com/events), announces support for event directors interested in offering an interactive training solution to athletes preparing for their 2006 race calendar.

“Increasingly, event directors partner with industry leading specialists for services like online registration”, notes Donavon Guyot, CEO of Training Peaks. “Providing a fully customized interactive training experience is a bit more challenging, but we’ve made sure our solution is simple and scalable by supporting some of the country’s largest events."

The “Interactive Training System” provides event directors two options for delivering interactive training plans to event participants:

1. The “In-House Coach” option provides an ideal solution for event directors who have established partnerships with coaching and training experts. Training Peaks currently supports over 500 independent coaches who use the interactive platform to share training plans with thousands of athletes. Training Peaks also employs a full time support staff to bring new coaches up to speed on the platform and make it easy to import existing training plans for wide spread publishing.

2. The “Select Coach” option provides event directors with a plug-and-play training solution. Training Peaks has partnered with industry leading coaches like best selling author and marathoner Hal Higdon, US Olympic Triathlon Team Coach Gale Bernhardt, Cycling Peaks Software developer Hunter Allen and author of Rodale’s "The Cutting Edge Runner" and Garmin Forerunner Training Plan developer Matt Fitzgerald to develop a full offering of training plans for a number of different events and distances.

Both options provide an opportunity for event directors to offer a fully customized training solution by publishing event specific training plans through the tools provided by www.TrainingPeaks.com/events. Athletes who follow these interactive training plans gain the assurance of knowing they are prepared for the event and have the opportunity to track their training by uploading data from Heart Rate Monitors, Power Meters and Speed and Distance GPS products.

“Thousands of athletes rely on us to help them reach important life goals. They entrust us with huge amounts of highly personal data and we take that responsibly very seriously,” concludes Donavon Guyot. “Our goal for looking toward 2006 is to identify and support event directors who take this challenge as seriously as we do.”
