Lafayette, CO April 5, 2010 -- Peaksware, LLC today was named to Outside magazine’s (www.outsideonline.com) third annual “Best Places to Work” list. Peaksware was ranked No. 38 out of 50 selected companies. The full list and related story will be published in the May issue of Outside magazine, available on newsstands April 13, 2010.

Outside’s “Best Places to Work” list was compiled with the help of the Outdoor Industry Association (outdoorindustry.org) and Best Companies Group (bestcompaniesgroup.com). The year-long selection process began with an outreach effort that identified a wide range of non-profit and for-profit organizations with at least 15 employees working in the United States. Participating companies were then sent confidential employee-satisfaction surveys and employer-questionnaires to collect information about benefits, compensation, policies, job satisfaction, environmental initiatives, and community outreach programs. All of the results were analyzed by Best Companies Group experts, who selected the 50 companies that strive to enhance their employees’ enjoyment of active endeavors, and environmental and social involvement.

"We are honored to be included in Outside Magazine's prestigious list of excellent work environments," said Donavon Guyot, Peaksware's CEO. "We built Peaksware to be a place where we could naturally combine our professional pursuits with our personal passion for a healthy lifestyle. As we have grown, it only seemed natural to extend this opportunity to our entire staff and this award is validation of the fact that we seem to be on the right path."

"These 50 companies come from a vast array of industries but they're all following the same enlightened path," said Michael Roberts, Executive Editor of Outside. "They're successful businesses in a challenging economy precisely because they support a proper work-life balance. They know that benefits like on-site gyms and fitness classes, reimbursements for ski passes and sports racing fees, and support for community service efforts during work hours make their employees happier and thus more productive."

Colorado Springs, CO, September 24, 2009 -- Carmichael Training Systems, an industry leader in endurance sports coaching, camps, and performance testing, announced that as of today, CTS Coaches will be providing training programs and analyzing athletes' workout data using TrainingPeaks online coaching platform. This transition has been in the works for nearly a year, as CTS and Peaksware - the software company behind the TrainingPeaks brand - worked together to customize the TrainingPeaks online coaching software to meet the unique needs of CTS Coaches and CTS Athletes.

This marks a significant transition for Carmichael Training Systems, from developing and using their own proprietary online-coaching tools to utilizing online coaching technologies provided by an outside company. "I made a decision more than two years ago, that I wanted CTS to focus on coaching and customer service instead of software development," explains Carmichael Training Systems founder, Chris Carmichael. "TrainingPeaks online and desktop software offer the most advanced tools for prescribing, monitoring, and analyzing an athlete's training. I've invested heavily in developing the best coaches in the industry, and I'm very happy that CTS Athletes will now have the benefits of both great coaches and superior coaching technology."

Working in conjunction with the software engineers at Peaksware, Chris and the CTS Coaching Staff had significant input during the development of the new online interface coaches will use to prescribe daily workouts for their athletes. This included incorporating proprietary workouts and training intensity ranges that are specific to the CTS Coaching Methodology.

"It is an honor to work with Chris Carmichael and his staff to continually evolve our TrainingPeaks software to meet the needs of their coaches and athletes," said Donavon Guyot, CEO of Peaksware. "Our strategic focus of providing unparalleled client management and data analysis tools customizable to any coaching methodology allows CTS coaches to focus on their world-class coaching without the distraction, burden and cost of developing and maintaining software."

For CTS Coaches and Athletes, the benefits of this transition were immediate and dramatic. The online interface used by CTS Athletes has several new features, including improved graphing functions and the ability to upload training data from power meters, heart rate monitors, and GPS units directly into their training logs. Likewise, CTS Coaches now have more convenient access to their athletes' training data, as well as improved analysis tools.

"I feel like I have the best of both worlds," commented longtime CTS Athlete Taylor Carrington. "In my experience with several coaching organizations, CTS has the greatest level of expertise and professionalism, and now my CTS coach and I can also communicate and share data using the most advanced software. This transition has been an incredible upgrade."

The new Joule from CycleOps, available later this year, will feature the popular trademarked cycling metrics TSS and IF, and will allow cyclists to upload their workout data to TrainingPeaks

Lafayette, CO, September 18, 2009 – Designed specifically for cyclists who train with power, the new CycleOps Joule includes the trademarked TrainingPeaks metrics Training Stress Score (TSS) and Intensity Factor (IF), and can also be uploaded to TrainingPeaks and exported to WKO+ for additional analysis. By displaying these trademarked assessment metrics, the Joule allows cyclists to quickly and objectively evaluate how hard a workout is in comparison to other rides, creating a more comprehensive and focused training experience.

“As the industry-leading power analysis software, TrainingPeaks is proud to add the Joule to our list of over 80 compatible training devices,” said Donavon Guyot, CEO of Peaksware, the producer of TrainingPeaks. “We are excited to have worked with CycleOps to enhance this new power meter to include our proprietary metrics TSS and IF, which cyclists have come to rely upon in their post-workout analysis, as well as direct compatibility with TrainingPeaks software.”

Training Stress Score (TSS) and Intensity Factor (IF) offer cyclists training with the Joule more advanced insight into their progress. The cumulative TSS per week or per month is used to help identify the maximum intensity and volume of training that still leads to improvements, rather than overtraining. In addition to displaying TSS and IF scores, the new Joule also tracks power, heart rate, cadence, speed, time, and more advanced workout data such as peak power, time in zones and altitude gain.

Data from the Joule can be uploaded directly to either a free Basic TrainingPeaks.com Personal Edition account or a Premium Personal Edition subscription account, as well as exported to TrainingPeaks WKO+ desktop software for advanced analysis. Data downloaded first from the Joule to PowerTap’s PowerAgent software can also be uploaded directly from there to TrainingPeaks.com accounts. Visit www.trainingpeaks.com to sign up for an account or download a free trial of WKO+.
