Which Training Program Has the "Best" Analytics?
For those who are familiar with the various training platforms (i.e. Trainer Road, Training Peaks, Strava, etc.), which one has the "best" analytical tools?
I currently have the paid version of Strava as my only cycling platform. It's been good for the price. No complaints, but the analytic tools are pretty basic. Perhaps that's all I need; not sure. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Background: I do 99% of my riding outdoors and have limited ability to plan workouts ahead of time because of the dynamic Florida weather. Therefore, following a rigid training plan based on pre-planned workouts is not a good option IMO. Yes, it could be done by doing more on my trainer. However, I hate the trainer (aka "the torture machine") and really only see myself using it on days when the weather totally prevents me from riding outside.
At the end of the day my greatest need in a training platform is ride analytics and fitness tracking. I'm open to the possibility that needs will change over time, but for now I really want to do my own thing and be able to analyze and track the results. Doing my own thing has been good so far. In less than 2 years I've gone from being completely off a bike for 10 years due to disc herniations and chroninc sciatic pain to consistently riding 300-400 miles per week (mostly pain free). I don't race, and I am not concerned with getting my FTP to a particular number. For now, I just want the best analytics.
