Question

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Starting my 3rd season of racing, getting ready to cat up to 3's. Going to get a power tap soon as well as cyclingpeaks WKO+. This past season I tracked my training by making a binder of copied pages out of the training bible, and hate dealing with all the paper. I don't have enough money to get a coach. My question is, I have just started using the polarpersonaltrainer, which is free. I can create a schedule and track features such as HR, speed, avg. sp. cad, time, dist. etc... but nothing with power. I was going to purchase virtual coach from TrainingPeaks to set up training plans and track progress, but cannot figure out if it is worth the money. Should I continue to use the polar site for free, or should I buy the trainingpeaks program (virtualcoach)?
Opinions appreciated.
Thanx
