TrainingPeaks is the platform serious cyclists have used for 25 years — 87% of WorldTour teams are on it. It's brilliant at what it does: capture your data, track your fitness and fatigue, and hold the structured plan your coach builds for you.
That last part is the catch. TrainingPeaks is built to be used with a coach. It hands you the numbers and the plan; making sense of them, and changing them when your week falls apart, is on you or the human coach you're paying.
Streeka is the coaching, built in. It's an AI coach you chat with that reads your rides, adapts your week automatically, and explains every change in plain language — no separate coach required.
The short version
TrainingPeaks is a data platform. It's the best in the world at showing you what happened — fitness and fatigue scores, charts, structured workouts, every metric your device records. But it's a tool you operate, not a coach you talk to. The intelligence comes from you, or from a coach you hire through it.
Streeka starts where TrainingPeaks stops. It reads the same kind of ride data, but instead of handing you a dashboard to interpret, it talks it through: "what did Saturday say about my fitness?" gets a plain-language answer. When life blows up your week, it rebuilds the plan on its own and tells you why each session changed. The coaching is in the app, not sold separately.
Where TrainingPeaks is stronger
Be honest about it — for some riders TrainingPeaks is the right call. If you already have a human coach, TrainingPeaks is almost certainly the platform they'll want to use; it's the industry standard for a reason. It connects with just about every device ever made, has a free tier to start on, includes structured strength training and indoor Virtual riding, and carries 25 years of credibility and depth that a newer app can't match.
If what you want is the deepest possible data platform to pair with a real coach, TrainingPeaks wins. Streeka is for the rider who wants the coach part in the app.
Where Streeka is different
1. You chat with it.
TrainingPeaks has no conversation — it's screens, charts, and a calendar. Streeka is a coach you talk to in plain language: "should I move the long ride, work blew up?" gets a straight, reasoned answer, grounded in what you actually rode. (Text chat — you type, no voice required.)
2. It adapts your week — and explains why.
On TrainingPeaks, when your week goes sideways, you re-plan it yourself, or your coach does (TrainingPeaks sells coaching from $149/month, with a couple of plan adjustments included). Streeka rebuilds the week automatically and tells you why each session changed — what it saw, what it's protecting, what it traded off. The adaptation and the reasoning are built in, not billed extra.
3. It reads your data, then explains it.
TrainingPeaks is the wall of fitness and fatigue numbers — powerful if you know how to read them, daunting if you don't. Streeka reads the same kind of data off your Garmin or Wahoo, then hands you a coach's plain-language read on it instead of leaving you to interpret the charts alone. You shouldn't need a sports-science degree to understand your own week.

Who should pick which
TrainingPeaks is the right call if you have (or want) a human coach, you need the deepest data platform and widest device support, or you want strength and indoor Virtual all in one place. It's the incumbent standard for coached athletes.
Streeka is the better fit if you don't have a coach and want one built into the app — something you can ask questions, that adapts your week for you, and explains its reasoning in plain language. It's built for the desk-job cyclist who's serious about getting faster, has a genuinely messy schedule, and wants coaching without hiring a coach.
Sam built Streeka because he couldn't find an app that did this — so he built one, and he's still the first user.
Common questions
Is Streeka a good alternative to TrainingPeaks?
Yes — especially if you don’t have a human coach. TrainingPeaks is a data platform built to be used with a coach; it shows you the numbers and the plan, but you (or a paid coach) interpret and adjust them. Streeka is an AI coach you chat with that adapts your week automatically and explains every change in plain language, with the coaching built in.
What is the main difference between Streeka and TrainingPeaks?
TrainingPeaks is a tool you operate — charts, fitness and fatigue scores, structured plans. Streeka is a coach you talk to. The difference is the intelligence: on TrainingPeaks it comes from you or a coach you hire; in Streeka it’s built in, adapts your week, and explains why.
Does Streeka replace a coach the way TrainingPeaks does?
TrainingPeaks doesn’t replace a coach — it’s the platform a coach uses, or sells coaching through (from $149/month). Streeka is designed to give a solo rider built-in AI coaching: it reads your rides, adapts the plan, and explains its reasoning, without hiring a person.
Does Streeka use my real cycling data?
Yes. Streeka reads what you actually rode from Garmin or Wahoo, then explains it in plain language — real data in, a coach’s reasoning out.
How much does Streeka cost?
Free for two weeks, then $14/month in the US and $29/month in Australia. iOS and Android.
