🎉📆🎉 New Early Access Feature: Improved Calendar (Beta)🎉📆🎉

We’re excited to announce early access to our updated TrainerRoad calendar! This powerful new tool is designed to make managing and analyzing your training faster and more intuitive than ever.

Enabling this beta feature replaces your calendar on TrainerRoad.com with the new version. It does not change how the calendar appears in the TrainerRoad apps.

As with all Early Access features, the new calendar is still in active development, and new features and bug fixes are being added every day. You can return to the old calendar by disabling this early access feature.

New Features

The new calendar preserves the same general layout and design as the old TrainerRoad calendar. If you’re familiar with the existing calendar you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding your way around, but there are a few important new features to know before you get started.

Right-Click Capability

Right-click workouts and notes on the new calendar to access common actions like copy, edit, and delete. The right-click menu also lets you instantly toggle between the indoor and outside versions of your planned workouts, associate workouts with completed outside rides, and edit notes and scheduled time off. It’s a quick and easy way to manage your training.

Updated TSS Chart

Located at the top of the calendar, the TSS chart graphs your weekly completed and planned training load over time. The TSS chart is now larger and easier to read than before; click on any week on the chart to jump to that week on the calendar below, or hover over any week on the chart to reveal more details.

For a more comprehensive overview of your training, the TSS chart also shows Events, FTP Changes, and Training Phases below the green TSS bars. Hover over any of these items for more information, or click one to jump to the item on your calendar and open a details window.

The TSS chart can be collapsed and expanded by clicking the ^ button at top right.

All-New “Drawer”

The “drawer” is a new informational window that slides open from the right side of the screen. Click any day or scheduled item on the calendar to open the drawer. From here, you’ll find important actions and information to help you manage and plan your training without leaving the calendar.

Clicking on a calendar day opens the scheduling drawer (also accessible by clicking the +ADD button). This drawer lets you add training plans, workouts, events, and adjustments to your calendar.

Clicking on a planned workout opens the workout’s details drawer, which includes a workout description, key information, and workout alternates. Click the pencil icon at the bottom to edit the planned workout, or click the trash can to delete it.

Clicking on a completed workout or activity opens a drawer containing a summary of your performance. The “Open Details” button at the bottom launches the workout’s full details page in a new browser tab.

Clicking on your training plan (from the calendar or TSS chart) will open the plan’s summary drawer. Here you’ll see a summary of the plan’s training stress, schedule, and any included events.

Providing Feedback

The new calendar is a beta feature and is still a work in progress, so we want your feedback here on the forum. Let us know of any bugs, confusion points, or unexpected behaviors you encounter.

For the time being, the new calendar is not supported at small screen sizes, which includes most phones. I’ll add that to the post to make it clear.

I found that clicking on a couple of the workouts I have scheduled for tomorrow or this weekend gives me an error screen with the message:

Ouch! We’ve taken a nasty spill

Can it be enabled for use on my laptop but disabled for my phone?

Unfortunately, no. Enabling Early Access is an account-wide setting. Some mobile devices will work on landscape mode.

Our engineers took a look, and it turns out you’re bumping into a bug unrelated to the calendar! A support agent will reach out to you with a fix.

It takes an absolute “age” to perform the task when you right click and delete a workout or when using “quick action” - delete week.

I already had the early feature - New sport types support added to Activity Sync enabled.

I’ve just disabled it but the calendar is still showing all of the other activities.

Suggested addition: from the calendar view, if I click on a workout and then the “pen” icon I get the below screen. Note that the workout is missing an RPE response. Suggestion: add the ability to edit the RPE response from the left hand side with the TSS / Cycling Records / etc. checkboxes, instead of having to go to the “Open Details” new window to edit the RPE Response.

Suggestion: add the ability to edit the RPE response

This is on our radar for the near term and should be in (hopefully) later this week. You’ll be able to click the RPE response from the main drawer (below the workout graph) rather than needing to open the edit panel.

Would also be great to add some type of visual cue in the calendar for workouts missing the RPE response.

This is intended behavior. On the old calendar, if you scrolled and then refreshed, we’d jump you back to today. On the new calendar, you can scroll, refresh, and even move to a different window, and we’ll default you back to where you left off. Click “Today” to jump back to today!

Great catch. Our engineers found what’s going on here and are fixing it now.

Display bug for workout Log In to TrainerRoad

Also happens with workout Log In to TrainerRoad

And workout Log In to TrainerRoad

So a pretty common bug, at least for me

Display bug for workout

Update: This should now be fixed.

Original post: This is a known issue. We’re mistakenly using the workout’s TSS as the FTP value for the workout graph, which is throwing off the graph’s scaling. Look for this to be resolved shortly!
