First question - are you a triathlete or a cyclist? If you are a triathlete hands down TP. Some have even won races riding with them.Įarthling wrote:The Xert guys seem to have nailed down the algorithm but boy the web site simply sucks! I mean it just sucks! Awful. These apps provide a lot of unique feedback about how you are performing in real-time and many of our users love riding with them. The benefit of using these is that you can perform our workouts on the Garmin but also get the benefit of all the other 7 apps we have that you can use with a trainer/power meter when you're out riding (not sure if you ride with a power meter during the season or not). Many though are opting to use a Garmin ConnectIQ bike computer. In fact, the dynamic intervals help you achieve the goals of the workout even if you to hit targets precisely. Of course, you can always perform the workouts without trainer control.
POWERCOACH VS GOLDENCHEETAH ANDROID
Android devices are pretty cheap these days and using a ANT+ stick with an USB OTG adapter, you'll have support for the Neo. To run the workouts in trainer control mode with the Neo, you need either an Android device or a ConnectIQ compatible Garmin. Unfortunately, as you point out, the Neo in trainer control mode isn't supported on our iOS app. To do Xert's smart workouts with trainer control, you will need to run one of our players. (We have many users that use our web mobile app). This can be done from pretty much anything that has a browser, including the iPhone. We have many that use it solely for tracking their fitness, analyzing rides and planning their calendar. I love the concept, but I cant seem to make it work with the hardware I have.

GoldenCheetah, which is more comparable to WKO, have already initiated an integration with Xert.Īrmando Mastracci, Founder of Xert, an advanced data analytics and training platform. With our open API, 3rd party apps can query our data and metrics to provide advanced analysis and post-hoc reporting. It analyzes data to determine the relationship your fitness (think FTP, 2 minute power, max power) has with your historical training, takes this information and recommends workouts/training targets based on your target event, runs workouts for you on your trainer auto adjusting targets/durations based on your specific fitness, shows you how your workouts/activities are tracking towards your goals and then helps you see how you are performing in real-time, monitoring your improvements and performance as they occur on our 8 Garmin ConnectIQ apps. Xert on the other hand is more of an end-to-end analysis and training platform.

Reporting lets you slice-and-dice data in a variety of ways.

WKO is a great analysis tool for coaches and advanced athletes. If I was to recommend someone a tool to do in-depth analysis - that is actually illustrative in terms of not only what you have done but also what you should do, WKO would be my pick. But having switched now to training as a pure cyclist, I find WKO to be really great, not surprising since - at its core - it is (and always has been) a tool for cyclists training with a powermeter.

I can't really speak to WKO for multi-sport analysis - I felt like TP was really the best because I think there's not necessarily a good composite approach and the extra detail of WKO is likely to be more confusing rather than more helpful for multi-sport.
