Absolutely TrainingPeaks has been wonderful for giving my riding more structure. Strongly advise going Premium so you get the Performance Manager chart on the Dashboard.

Instead of relatively arbitrary easy days or weeks or rest periods, my experience is simply to go by either resting and standing HR or heart rate variability. Look at the training that's suggested or what you plan to do and see if that comports with how your heart is feeling it.
