Truly Disappointing.
I’m a reasonable standard self-taught triathlete (raced Kona), but thought having a coach and adding some accountability and structure might take me to a higher level. From the outset, I was surprised at the complicated set-up this form of coaching has. Runna, for instance, is a piece of cake in comparison. I must admit, I hadn’t used TrainingPeaks before, so the layers of complexity seemed unnecessary. I did receive a few emails from a female coach, but found them low energy and lacking true engagement. Obviously, I realised this form of coaching was not for me. It clearly works wonders for some, but I found it a complete waste of time and money. Lesson learned.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we're sorry it wasn't the right fit. You're clearly a strong and accomplished athlete, and we understand that coming from a self-coached background, the structure of a TrainingPeaks-based coaching setup can feel like a big shift. It's not for everyone, and we appreciate your honesty about that. We do take your feedback about engagement seriously. Every athlete deserves to feel supported, and we'll be reviewing this internally. We genuinely wish you all the best with your training and racing going forward.
