Zones
TrainingPeaks requires thresholds to calculate metrics for deeper workout analysis and modeling training load through the Performance Management Chart. Makes sure you keep your threshold(s) current for accurate analysis.
Heart rate, power, and speed/pace
Set your thresholds and zones for each sport for which you train.
Typically it will be:
- Heart Rate for Bike and Run
- Power for Bike
- Speed/Pace for Run and Swim
Note:
- If you do not set a threshold for a specific sport and upload that sport type, TrainingPeaks uses the ‘default’ threshold for heart rate, power, or pace to calculate metrics.
- Setting your thresholds and zones is extremely important since all of the TrainingPeaks metrics are based on thresholds.
- TrainingPeaks offers several different methods by which you can calculate your zones. See this article for documentation on each calculation method.
Notifications
Enable threshold notifications to receive an alert when TrainingPeaks detects a threshold change. Enable “automatically apply” if you want TrainingPeaks to automatically apply your new threshold.
Nutrition
Calorie Goals
Enter a daily calorie goal based on how many calories you want to consume, excluding those that you would burn through exercise. TrainingPeaks will automatically add the number you specify with the caloric expenditure from your workouts(s) and appear in dashboard charts that display calories consumed vs calories expended.
Connect your account to MyFitnessPal to automatically sync your meals with TrainingPeaks.
Equipment
Add bikes and/or shoes to track the mileage. Equipment can be selected from the workout QuickView and mileage will automatically accrue based on completed workouts.
Layout
‘Layout’ allows you to customize what you see on your calendar, the week summary, Quick Views, and metrics
Default View
Select which tab you’d like to see appear by default when you login to your TrainingPeaks athlete account.
Calendar – Workout
Moving data items from ‘available’ to ‘in use’ will make them visible on your calendar. Drag data items from ‘in use’ to ‘available’ to reduce the size of your workout card, thus reducing space on your TrainingPeaks calendar.
Calendar – Compliance
Quickly see your compliance with planned workouts by turning on “Compliance”. Completed workouts will colorize based on compliance with planned duration, distance, or TSS. Moving the data item up or down in the list prioritizes it with the top given top priority.
- Green – Completed value is +/- 20% of planned values.
- Yellow – Completed value is 50%-79% or 121-150% of planned values.
- Orange – Completed value is more than 50% above or below planned.
- Red – Workout was not completed.
- Grey – Unplanned workouts (completed values with no planned values).
Drag items from ‘Available’ to ‘In Use’ to make those fields visible in the workout QuickViews. These settings are sport-specific and allow QuickViews to be configured differently for different sport types.
Calendar – Metrics
Drag metrics from ‘available’ to ‘In Use’ to make the metrics available when recording a metric on your calendar.
Week Summary
Drag ATP items from ‘Available’ to ‘In Use’ to make them visible on the right side of your calendar to help with weekly planning. Note that you must have a completed Annual Training Plan (ATP) first for these items to appear.
