Long time user of Training Peaks and new to TrainerRoad. I know that the two platforms don’t interact with each other. I like using my CTL to gauge my fitness level but I like the workouts in the TR plans. How is everyone that uses both using the metrics in TrainingPeaks to plan for races and peak fitness times? Can you tell me how you incorporate the two in your daily routine?
Am I missing functions available in the calendar function in TR?
Thanks for the advise.
I switched to TP free last year. Some of my opinions on CTL vs TrainerRoad’s equivalent are here: Polarized Training Workouts & Experiences (80/20) - #64 by bbarrera
And a long thread here:
I use TP (paid version) for planning and tracking training and other data. I love TR but the only things I use the app/calendar for are to get the plan/workouts and running the workouts on my iPhone.
For planning purposes, I hand enter the TR workouts into my TP calendar - name, duration and TSS (and often cut and paste description too). I have a big monitor and if I pull both TR and TP up and split my screen, it goes pretty quick.
The new TR calendar is nice and a big step up for those who’ve never used anything else but its still a few steps behind TrainingPeaks and I’d be losing features if I switched to TR.
I’m single sport athlete, and used TP Premium for 3 years. Was focused on CTL and PMC during that time. Not missing anything with TR calendar, in fact with my travel schedule the TR calendar is easier to make adjustments. For deep-dive analysis I’m using WKO which offers stuff not in TP Premium.
Looking for some TP - TR help.
Is it just me, or is TP stuck in one Time Zone? I can’t work out how to change it and it seems to try and put workouts for today as yesterday on TR.
In Account Settings > Profile you can change your TP time zone.
On the app?
On the PC. I’ve just had a quick look at the app, the account settings are in and they dont have a time zone field like on the PC. There is a Country field, it maybe sets it but its blank in my account and I do all my changes from the web.
Perfect, thanks.
Web app is accessible from my mobile phone - https://app.trainingpeaks.com/ and as HLaB stated you can change timezone:
Thanks. Yeah, found the web app. They don’t make things easy for such a popular service.
www.trainingpeaks.com > settings> timezone. TZ defaults to Mountain time if you don’t update.
