Triathlon Trainer at Mac App Store analyse

Without too much fuss, the app produces a valid, usable schedule of customized workouts and allows you to record having done them and see your progress. Its motivating to want to keep up with the schedule, and also includes some tips and strategies. Its less work than designing my own schedule and much cheaper than a coach. The app doesnt waste time starting up and doesnt crash. The interface for rescheduling workouts is very awkward, forcing you to cycle through different arrangements to try and get the one you want, and rescheduling cannot be done at all after the date has passed, so for example if you did your run on Thursday and now its Friday and you want to swap that with the swim you were supposed to do on Thursday, but you didnt get to the pool on time, its impossible. On the plus side, it warns but doesnt completely disallow poor scheduling with consecutive workouts in the same sport. The app highlights the workout scheduled for the current day, but doesnt update the day if you havent exited since a previous day. Theres no specific facility for comparing splits or distances to track speed improvement. It only records the time you spent on each activity. Theres no way to add in multisport cross-training such as cross-country skiing. It assumes you are starting your training three months before the race. When I wanted to start training a year in advance I had to invent imaginary races to train towards. I would have given it a four if rescheduling were easier and maybe a five if did that well and allowed me to see progress in speed as well as just time spent slogging.

I love this app. If you create one for a half or a full ironman, I buy it!

You really should be able to drag Mondays workout to Tuesday and match the workouts to the day of the week thats best for you that way. With guidelines and notes reminding the athlete to try to avoid running on back to back days. Please add this capability!! I want to look at my week and know which workouts Ive completed. A check box to show the workout was done would go a long way!! Thank you for putting this app out there. Im very grateful!

Love this app!!!!! I did about five sprint distance triathlons before this summer. I set a goal to do my first Olympic tri this summer and used this app to help me get there. I finished the tri in under three hours and it is because of this app. It is easy to follow. It provides detailed workouts. It is user friendly. You can track your progress and you can customize the workout plan based on the date of your event. You plug in the date of the event and follow the workouts. Also,it provides good info on heart rate monitoring to help build endurance. GREAT app!!!

I just wrote a review for your 1st Time Triathlon when I saw this one. I almost thought it a mistake because they look the same. Suggest changing logo and color scheme so visually could select the quickly and correctly

Im about half way done with First Time Tri. I am really looking forward to starting this program too. JammyCos programs are easy to follow and never boring.

Awesome workouts, beg intermediate or advanced. Just wish there was more options for changing workouts per day or switching them around. Nice job overall!!!!
