Just got my first power meter!
What program or site do most people use to view the data. I was thinking about going with TrainingPeaks. I currently use BT to track my training.
It looks like I will have to pay an extra $100 for some software from TP?
Thank you for any help!
Try golden cheetah. Its free.
trainingpeaks/WKO+ and golden cheetah are the two biggest favorites.
golden cheetah is free and may provide all you want/need, at the moment the official version uses slightly different metrics than WKO+ (BikeScore instead of TSS, etc) but they are very nearly indentical.
trainingpeaks as the advantage of being easy to share data with coaches also
You can analyze your power data with the free version of TrainingPeaks, there are just a few charts that are missing but most of it is there. If you want to try the Premium version for 14 days free DM me for a code.
Golden Cheetah v3.0 calculates TSS and all other standard metrics. Also has train mode.
I use Strava. It gives you basic power data for free but if you upgrade ($60) you get a lot more data and scores.
Thank you for all the help! I downloaded Golden Cheetah, and like it. The only plus I would see for Training Peaks is that I don’t have to download my training to several different sites.
What head unit are you using?
Garmin 800

You can download a trial version of WKO+ from Training Peaks and use it for a couple weeks.
