TrainingPeaks Workout Builder

BY Dirk Friel

Available today, coaches and athletes can now easily build structured workouts with dynamic training targets and auto-calculated workout TSS.

TrainingPeaks Workout Builder is a powerful tool for creating endurance workouts for both coaches and athletes.

Dynamic Training Targets

Workout Builder creates dynamic individual training targets and zone values for each workout built. For example, if a coach wants to prescribe a ‘20-minute interval within zone 3’ to all of their athletes, they can now create the interval workout using Workout Builder. It will dynamically populate each athlete’s zone 3 training targets, saving them the time of rebuilding and customizing the workout for each athlete.

Auto-Calculate Workout TSS

The Workout Builder calculates TSS for each workout as it’s created. Coaches or athletes who set weekly TSS targets on the ATP can now use the Workout Builder to create workouts that collectively meet the ATP’s weekly TSS suggestion.

Since planning with TSS captures both the intensity and duration of a workout, coaches and athletes no longer need to plan in distance or duration.

Workout Details

Not only will each athlete see their individual training targets and zones for each workout through the daily workout e-mail reminders and mobile notifications, but they will also see a visual representation of the workout within the web and mobile apps. They will quickly be able to see workout elements like warm-up, main set, and cool-down. No longer will they have to read lengthy descriptions just to get a sense of what is prescribed.
