Conference summary: Training applications have become accessible and used by the entire endurance sports community. We’ll take a look at the various training applications available on the market, presenting their features, advantages and disadvantages. We’ll then focus on the Trainingpeaks platform, which stands out for its planning tools, training load and athlete progress tracking, as well as the different metrics of interest in the application and how to interpret them. This conference is open to amateur athletes and coaches who want to learn more about these tools and training parameters. <\/p>\n

He builds specific training programs using the principles of overload\/compensation, enabling the athlete to be ready for the event in question.
