Short answer: The TrainingForever app is free for the athlete, always: you receive every day the session your coach prepares you, your sessions reach your Garmin watch and you record how you feel. And if your coach is starting, it also has a free version of up to 5 athletes.
What the app does for you
- Today's session on your phone, with what you have to do and why.
- Synchronization with your watch: Garmin Connect and Strava (and export to Coros and Polar).
- Registration of RPE and notes In seconds, so your coach knows what the clock doesn't measure.
- Messages with your coach linked to each session, not lost in a chat.
- Force included: Video exercises in the same plan as the race.

What a coach says: Marc Bañuls
Marc Bañuls, endurance coach with more than 15 years experience. «What I ask a athlete is little: to record how he felt and tell me what the watch does not know.» «The watch tells me what he has done; the note after tells me how he is. I need both."
