Triathlon Trainer App Reviews

Without too much fuss, the app produces a valid, usable schedule of customized workouts and allows you to record having done them and see your progress. Its motivating to want to keep up with the schedule, and also includes some tips and strategies. Its less work than designing my own schedule and much cheaper than a coach. The app doesnt waste time starting up and doesnt crash. The interface for rescheduling workouts is very awkward, forcing you to cycle through different arrangements to try and get the one you want, and rescheduling cannot be done at all after the date has passed, so for example if you did your run on Thursday and now its Friday and you want to swap that with the swim you were supposed to do on Thursday, but you didnt get to the pool on time, its impossible. On the plus side, it warns but doesnt completely disallow poor scheduling with consecutive workouts in the same sport. The app highlights the workout scheduled for the current day, but doesnt update the day if you havent exited since a previous day. Theres no specific facility for comparing splits or distances to track speed improvement. It only records the time you spent on each activity. Theres no way to add in multisport cross-training such as cross-country skiing. It assumes you are starting your training three months before the race. When I wanted to start training a year in advance I had to invent imaginary races to train towards. I would have given it a four if rescheduling were easier and maybe a five if did that well and allowed me to see progress in speed as well as just time spent slogging.

I love this app. If you create one for a half or a full ironman, I buy it!

You really should be able to drag Mondays workout to Tuesday and match the workouts to the day of the week thats best for you that way. With guidelines and notes reminding the athlete to try to avoid running on back to back days. Please add this capability!! I want to look at my week and know which workouts Ive completed. A check box to show the workout was done would go a long way!! Thank you for putting this app out there. Im very grateful!

Love this app!!!!! I did about five sprint distance triathlons before this summer. I set a goal to do my first Olympic tri this summer and used this app to help me get there. I finished the tri in under three hours and it is because of this app. It is easy to follow. It provides detailed workouts. It is user friendly. You can track your progress and you can customize the workout plan based on the date of your event. You plug in the date of the event and follow the workouts. Also,it provides good info on heart rate monitoring to help build endurance. GREAT app!!!

I just wrote a review for your 1st Time Triathlon when I saw this one. I almost thought it a mistake because they look the same. Suggest changing logo and color scheme so visually could select the quickly and correctly

Im about half way done with First Time Tri. I am really looking forward to starting this program too. JammyCos programs are easy to follow and never boring.

Awesome workouts, beg intermediate or advanced. Just wish there was more options for changing workouts per day or switching them around. Nice job overall!!!!

I have been using this app and love it. It is an easy way to track work-outs.

It is great to follow the programs provided. It keeps me disciplined. I do wish for some flexibility too move workouts around. I am also an advanced swimmer and cyclist but a beginner runner (I hate running). Could there be an adjustment setting that can accomodate?

Just started tris in July this year and have done 4 tris so far. 1 xterra 1 Olympic distance, and 2 sprints. Great way to track workouts and progress.

Used it for only three weeks, and upped my performance! Ended up pulling out 3rd in my age group! Defiantly thanks to tritrainer! I think if anyone wants to improve this is a great buy without having to pay for a coach!

Im stepping up to an international distance tri this fall and I love having a quick reference tool to keep me on track with my training. The tips are good, but what I really like are the training drills built into the training schedules. One change I wish theyd make is to allow the user to swap workouts around to different days of the week. Integration with imapmyfitness would also be sweet, if you could swing it. Update: the new version lets you change the workout schedule, but its still not as flexible as Id hoped. Instead of a drag and drop feature, it lets you choose from 40+ schedules. So, an improvement, but not quite there yet. Still a great app and definitely recommend it, but theres still room for some additional flexibility.

The app is surprisingly unadvanced. The app gives you a training schedule, but thats about it; there is no way of tracking distances, it only records time trained on each discipline, rescheduling option is highly unflexible, the layout is plain. Unworthy of an apple-app.

love the app!! i live by it everyday. the most important thing to me is having a detailed training plan with me wherever I go. and this is what no other app provides. seriously...this is the 21st century. do people really still print out their training schedules?? the only frustrating thing is that now that Im used to this for the Olympic distance, Im not sure that I like the thought of training for a 1/2 and full ironman without it. Please do an update or create a new app for these distances :)

Good tips could be better, Good but dont think it is worth $7

This was a great training app for my first Olympic length triathlon. It was nice to have a detailed daily schedule. It was worth every penny. Would love to see a similar app for a 1/2 Ironman.

This app is nothing it says its going to be, its not worth the 6.99 DONT PAY FOR IT

The app needs to be more a lot more flexible. It limits you to a 16 week schedule and doesnt seperate weekends from work days. I would love to have an ability to move workouts around to fit my schedule.

Simple, low price and well done Thank You!

If your serious and can get up on your own to train than this is a great app for you. Love it!
