On this Tipcast we review the Training Peaks Performance Management Chart (PMC). One of the shortcomings of the PMC is that trends are often difficult to discern when data are limited, particularly for those who training infrequently (4 or fewer days/week). However, there are some things to consider to improve the chart. In addition, triathletes should take advantage of using different charts to track individual sports to better monitor progress in each aspect of triathlon.

On this Tipcast we review some of my highlights from the most recent American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting. Of note, we discuss the latest research on high-intensity interval training, maximal lactate steady state and advances in Olympic sport preparation. 

Here's my Training Peaks Chart for the past few months. Its been a chore to get this thing to work well with the different data sets that I get from Tri training. Let's just say I've needed to move beyond the default settings. One thing I've noticed is that low training frequency really messes things up. Anyway, here's what I have so far. Checkout the upcoming Tipcast for more thoughts on all this.
