Calling all multisport athletes—we’re excited to announce you can now import and analyze runs in TrainerRoad. You can enable this feature now via Early Access to help improve your multisport training, planning, and analysis.
How to Enable Importing Runs:
Step 1. Log into the TrainerRoad website.
Step 2. Click “Account” at the bottom of the left sidebar, then click “Early Access” from the Account navigation menu.
Step 3. Scroll to “Import and Display Runs” and select Enabled.
Step 4. Click “Ride Sync” in the Account navigation menu, and verify you’ve connected your preferred run-tracking platform (such as Strava or Garmin Connect.)
How It Works:
Once you’ve enabled the feature in Early Access, any runs you upload to your connected RideSync accounts will automatically sync to TrainerRoad. You can click on completed runs to open a detailed view, including pace, heart rate, and other metrics.
Imported runs will be automatically associated with any planned runs scheduled that day on your calendar. If you’re on a multisport training plan, you no longer need to manually mark planned runs as “completed”. Instead, simply do the run as scheduled, and when it syncs to TrainerRoad it will be associated with the planned workout and automatically marked as complete.
Note that for initial Early Access to this feature, run activities are only visible on your calendar on TrainerRoad.com and not yet through our apps, but we plan to eventually add this functionality to our apps with other future improvements.
FAQ
What data is displayed on the Run Activity Details page?
Run details include pace, elevation, intervals, and a map. It will also include cadence, heart rate, and power, if your device records these metrics.
Are runs incorporated into Adaptive Training?
If you miss a run scheduled by your plan, Adaptive Training will adjust your upcoming runs in response. Adaptive Training does not currently analyze your running performance the way it does for your cycling workouts, and adaptations to your runs will not affect your scheduled cycling workouts (and vice-versa).
Can I view my running PRs in TrainerRoad?
The initial Early Access to running activities in TrainerRoad does not yet include PRs, but we do plan to add this in a future update.
Why can’t I see my old runs?
Currently, only runs synced after enabling the feature will appear on your calendar, but we plan to backfill data to display past runs in a future update.
Why aren’t my runs on the calendar on the TrainerRoad app?
Initial Early Access to runs is only available via the TrainerRoad website, but we plan to add the ability to view completed runs in our apps at a later date.
