Effective March 27th you can sign up for a FREE training peaks account AND get a free training program from Steve Neal Performance Development to use in your account to prepare for the 2009 Crank the Shield. Peter and Steve have produced another great set of training that should keep your preparation on track and interesting with a mix of riding and cross training workouts.
What is Training Peaks ? Training Peaks is an online training tool that lets users keep track of training, recovery status, nutrition etc. Steve and Peter use it with their clients to provide customized training daily. Their clients then upload their workout comments and training files to help guide the next day's training. For you, as a Crank the Shield Athlete, this lets you get a look at what it is like to have a training plan and log your daily experiences, to help isolate where you can improve your efforts and to keep you on track. The SPECIAL BONUS for you is that you get to use the Crank the Shield training blog to ask Steve and Peter questions as the program progresses and as you meet challenges in your preparation !

Hi Steve/Peter,
Just a note that the anonymous identity appears to be disabled on the CTS Training blog.
In regards to the CTS Training plan is the workout calendar aspect of the Training Peaks tool intended to be used for the sole purpose of logging training effort or will the CTS training plan appear workout calendar too?
Thanks in advance.
