"I just wanted to say “thank you” for the valuable training plan. With 1 year old twins my life is a bit chaotic, so I squeeze in workouts as time allows. Your training plan served as a great guide to structure my workouts, and as it turned out, I won my division at the LA triathlon! Thanks again!”

On Monday this week, we officially relaunched ActiveTrainer.com. The main change was to the homepage navigation. Your training plan search is now front and center, allowing you to browse our entire database of programs... more than 100 in total. We hope this makes it much easier to find the right program for your training needs.

 

Also highlighted on the homepage is a link to set up your free "log-only" Active Trainer account. Active Trainer is 100% free to use as your personal training diary. Logging workouts is a great way to measure progress towards a goal and help identify what is working in your training.
