As good as TrainerRoad with a more Personal touch
I have been using the first iteration (ERGdb within Golden Cheetah) for years for plans and then needing something more advanced moved to a annual TrainerRoad. I really liked TR because of the plan building and easy UI compared with GC. Tried Zwift FulGaz RGT etc and I didn’t really get anything more from gamification ..I just looked at the numbers! Switched to TrainerDay a few months ago by chance looking for ERGdb files and in short it’s fantastic and a steal at around £3 a month for the plus plan! Now we have “coach Jack” to automatically build plans it’s as good as TrainerRoad I’d say apart from the in plan text to coach you through the ride in TR but that’s the only real difference. The forum is great with Alex the lead responding to you directly straight away and you can ask for anything and they’ll help or consider new features. Now something that’s better than TrainerRoad is It’s linked to the intervals.ICU app and this provides advanced data analytics and planning which helps you keep track of training and monitor workloads and activities. If you are looking for something structured that you can ride either in the app on your Garmin head unit or even run in Zwift if you prefer then for the cost of a coffee it’s a no brainier!
