What it does
GoldenCheetah is open-source training-analysis software for Windows, Mac and Linux. It imports ride and workout files, provides analysis charts, supports data editing and export, and offers tools for examining power, intervals and training trends.
Choose it when you want to work with training files on a desktop computer. The official site lists formats such as FIT, TCX, GPX and CSV, plus data-editing and export tools. That file-oriented workflow is useful when analysis should not depend entirely on one device maker's website.
The chart range includes critical-power models, power-versus-heart-rate views and interval analysis. Start by importing one activity and choosing a chart for the question you have, rather than trying every metric at once. Use the stable release for an ordinary setup; the project explicitly warns that snapshot builds can contain regressions.
