Create custom charts, gain faster insights into your athlete’s performance, and see how this powerful analytical engine will help you prescribe the most precise training possible. ![]() After a number of years (and delays) in development, a desktop near you. The once flagship desktop app had seen quiet times over the last roughly half a decade, but development was restarted a few years ago back in the summer of 2012. The development though essentially had two different pieces to it. First was the more complex piece of coming up with new algorithms and new metrics. ![]() These new metrics ultimately would enable either better training or racing strategies, or perhaps just more efficient ways to identify existing metrics. That development was primarily led by Dr. Andrew Coggan and Hunter Allen. This includes new ways to identify one’s FTP (Functional Threshold Power) without having to do FTP tests (called mFTP for modeled FTP). Though that’s really only one of numerous new metrics or ways to surface up information. The second piece is the development of the actual software app itself. That piece is heavily reliant on the rest of the TrainingPeaks software development team, but is essentially no different than other software development effort. Which means that it had its highs and lows (read: delays). However roughly three weeks ago the bun finally popped out of the oven. Here’s my take on using it the past little while. A Brief Look at the App: At present, the app is only available on Mac, so if you’ve got Windows – you’re sorta out of luck (unless you want to use a hosted Mac cloud service). But they say things are coming to Windows no later than the end of this calendar year, so no more than 4 months away. In the meantime, a free 14-day trial version is available, which is what I’ve been using (well, at least until tonight when my trial ran out and I had to buy it to continue writing this post). Of which, the installation (and eventual payment) was quick and simple. Once you get it installed you’ll create your athlete profile. Because WKO4 is designed to support multiple athletes (such as a coach would have), it allows you to manage those individually via the left dashboard. In my case, I added my existing TrainingPeaks account, which then synchronized my entire inventory of data into the app. That took a while, so I’d recommend planning dinner for that synchronization if you’ve been using TrainingPeaks for years. Once that’s done you’ll be at the point of seeing your athlete details pane. This shows your current training levels and FTP, as well as run and swim focused metrics at the bottom. Of course, these generally tend to take a backseat within the app. It’s not as if they aren’t present, it’s justwellless detailed than cycling. Meanwhile, along the right side you’ve got the slices of time – such as this week, last week, this year, and so on. These are what controls the middle chunk. It’s fun looking back historically to different years where my training volume was focused at specific events – such as an Ironman (where obviously training durations are longer). When the single athlete is highlighted, you’ll have noticed different tabs along the top. These are all different charts. Charts might be a somewhat simplistic term though, as ‘pages’ is probably more accurate. Each chart though can be saved and shared with others, as well as downloaded from a central repository. This first being the default listing with the app: And then there is with more. What’s cool here though is you start to see other sports supported, for example I saw some rowing ones in there. The charts then drive the information in the middle pane, based on either a workout or a wider timeframe (collection of workouts).
