My FTP has gone from 250W to 350W since I started last year. I'm basically the poster child for TR and I love it. This means that you can make those modifications in a way that's friendly with how their program is calibrated. For example, they will give advice on what you should do if you don't think you'll be able to complete a workout or what you should do if you want to tack on a little more volume. It's really good and contains a lot of advice that is especially useful if you are using TR. If you fully buy into the system then you (hopefully) get those benefits. They have crazy good data on what works and what doesn't and they constantly tweak things based on what makes people faster. The fact that they only have a few different plans with many people essentially doing exactly the same stuff is what makes it so powerful. If you are going to make a lot of tweaks to the plan and do your own thing on a lot of days I think the value of TR starts to fall down. You just want to answer a few questions like what type of riding your do and what volume you want and then have it plan everything out for you.You like training indoors (you can do the workouts outdoors and they support sending to your bike computer).If you are doing "high volume" then this means a lot of sweet spot days. You want almost every day to be structured intervals (very few just ride in zone 2 days).You want to ride somewhere in the range of 5 to 12 hours per week.it's a pita to manually set up workouts / plan yourself and having some variety in those hundreds of training hours is essential to stay engaged. Cost-wise they could end up much the same overall.Īre they worth it? For me, yes.
The downside with TP would be that you'd end up buying lots of different plans out of boredom/need to scale training up/down or change focus. up to you to get value out of them though as basically nothing gets automatically surfaced to guide you. The tools/charts in TP are streets ahead of TR. TP feels a bit more open, you can sync workouts to Zwift which I find fun to do. You're also semi-stuck in their ecosystem.
The downsides are that (compared to TP) the number of plans is limited, and they tend to be focussed on doing lots of short(ish) rides instead of more traditional short/hard+long/easy setups. TR is good - you can easily scale your training hours or focus, it's easy to interact with, the commentary and cues are interesting/helpful.
