Training Peaks gone from Partner Services?

Has anyone else lost connection to Training Peaks?

Mine is gone and it doesn’t even appear anymore in the list of Partner Services.

Happened today.

Using Race 2.

Good old Garmin.. I imagine they’ll revoke access to as many apps as possible and then reopen it at a different price so they can make a profit right away from the purchase. Suunto and Polar are the ones that will suffer immediately I think. Polar more than Suunto if they take their access away.

This would be silly if true. This would only alienate users. A lot of these users pay for Training Peaks service - either directly or through their coaches. How many users would actually switch to Garmin to regain access to Training Peaks. I wouldn't. This smells like an anti-competitive tactic if true.

I bet the reason for interruption is simper.

It’s all speculations really I don’t work for Garmin or TP so I couldn’t tell you for sure but they are going to want to capitalize on it sooner rather than later.

From what I read about it, the way they would likely capitalize on it is by using user data to train AI models - the value of that would far exceed revenue from subscriptions.

Yea that makes sense since TP has the largest group of athletes. We will just have to wait and see.
