Garmin Just Bought TrainingPeaks. The Questions Every Coach Should Be Asking.

Garmin Just Bought TrainingPeaks. The Questions Every Coach Should Be Asking.23 jul10 min

Garmin has acquired TrainingPeaks — so what does that actually mean for coaches who rely on TrainingPeaks to run their coaching businesses?

Right now, the answer is: nobody really knows.

TrainingPeaks isn't shutting down, there's no reason to panic, and Garmin may end up investing heavily in the platform.

But the acquisition does change something important: the incentives behind the company that now owns TrainingPeaks.

In this video I look at some of the questions I think TrainingPeaks coaches should be asking:

Will TrainingPeaks remain device-neutral?Could pricing or packaging change?Will the product retain the same focus inside Garmin?And most importantly, who becomes the primary customer over time — coaches or athletes?My view isn't that TrainingPeaks coaches should immediately leave.

It's that the best time to understand your alternatives is before you need one.
