Powertap, cycling peaks & polar 720

Triathlon Forum

Background
Been using a Polar 720 for the last couple of years (without power). Looking at getting a powertap SL and using cycling peaks

A couple of questions, if you will:

  1. How do you rate cycling peaks as a triathlete v. the polar software - i.e. usefulness for logging run data from a polar HRM and cycling data from PT?

  2. If you use a PT, what software (if not cycling peaks) do you use for logging your run data and swim km’s?

Any insights appreciated.

Cambiatta has a nice program out there that can use PT data

Got a link? Can it use Polar hrm. files?

I am in the same situation as you. I’ve used my Polar 720 sans power for over 2 years. I’ve just purchased a PowerTap SL and use it with CyclingPeaks. I only keep cycling data in CyclingPeaks and use MySportTraining to log everything (including an exported copy of my cycling data).

Cool, I knew someone else must be in the same situation.

Mysport Training seems a bit consumer-ish and gimmicky from what I’ve seen. I’m curious as to how cycling peaks copes with multiple sports - did you try it out before moving to MySport?

From what I have seen, cycling peaks looks to be extremely useful for cycling - just wondering about it’s use for multisport training.
