I am looking to purchase a pre-packaged online training plan (eg., trainingpeaks, eraceplanner) and would like opinions based on people’s experience with specific plans. I am having a hard time choosing (for example, there are five full IM plans just at trainingpeaks.com)! Ironman Germany, July 6, 2008
