What is Ridgework actually replacing?
A PDF plan
A PDF still shows the week you planned. Ridgework shows the week rewritten from what you logged. The date stays.
Stay if your plan already works and you reliably rewrite it yourself after a bad night.
ChatGPT
A conversation is not a training desk. ChatGPT can help you decide what to do today. Ridgework still has the next weeks written on Friday.
Stay if you mainly want advice and are happy keeping the resulting plan yourself.
Garmin Coach / Runna
Garmin Coach adjusts a plan to your current fitness, schedule and race date, from a compatible watch. Runna syncs sessions to a watch and gives audio cues during the run.
Stay if watch integration, audio and road-oriented adaptive training are what you want.
TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks scores a session as TSS, and a coach and an athlete share the plan in one place.
Stay if TSS, a cockpit and a coaching ecosystem are how you train.
A human coach
A person can decide the next week with you.
Stay if you want a human making decisions with you. Hire one.
Ridgework
Ridgework does not currently push workouts to your watch.
For the athlete who wants a written week aimed at a date, rewritten from what they logged, without a coach relationship.
