The workout library is REALLY in need of an update. As a coach this is essentially the area I rely on the most and there are a number of things that make it more painful then it needs to be. A few suggestions:

- Re-enabling workout codes would allow ability to filter workout types
- Workout "tags" could allow better searching
- Reorganizing workouts is painful. Example: I create a library called Swim Form/Efficiency... and then tried to look for all workouts with the word form in it so I could drag them into the Library, which was hidden because of the filter. So, I had to rename the folder to something else just to move the items in.
- Allow re-ordering of Library's... I'd like to group Workout Library together and there is no way I can find to do this
- Allow sub-categories of workouts for instance I'd like a top category of BIKE and be able to have sub-categories of Aerobic, Tempo, Threshold, Hills, etc.

Those are some of my ideas to make it usable.

It seems that this has been asked for by users in may places for over 18 month now, yet has never been implemented. To make it unmistakably clear how important this is to users I added this as a single request, rather than being mixed in and thus overlooked / forgotten.

For clarification and to be precise:
This feature request is for the support of reading the heart rate from a swim workout captured on a Garmin device directly via the Garmin AutoSync using the .FIT file. Manually exporting the file as TCX file from Garmin Connect, then opening training peaks, deleting the AutoSync'd file that has no heart rate and then manually uploading the TCX file is archaic.

If you implement further swimming metrics at the same time then that would of course be great ;)

When an activity is completed and uploaded automatically, Training Peaks does a reasonable but imperfect job of lining these up with planned workouts. This does not always work correctly, especially with races, so it would be handy to have and option to associate activities with planned workouts. Conversely it would be useful to be able to separate planned workouts and completed activities so that they can be associated correctly. I think of this akin to reconciliation of receipts to your bank statement. I was thinking along the lines of select an activity and a planned session and then click a 'Merge' button or something similar.

As it is today, NGP accounts for hills -- up or down -- by adjusting NGP up when climbing, and adjusting down when descending. However, TrainingPeaks currently applies equal and opposite adjustments for equal up/down grades. That means if you climb and descend the same hill, NGP will be the same as if you just ran flat. That's incorrect. In the real world, if you run up a 6% grade, you burn more energy than the energy you save running down a 6% grade.

I would like to see a much more accurate NGP calculation, as this would help the accuracy and usefulness of TSS for hill (usually trail) runners.

I was excited about the new workout builder but disappointed and confused when I was told that workouts specified in distance and % FTP intentionally do not estimate TSS and that I must use duration. Well as a runner pace and distance are how my workouts are structured. Intervals are commonly specified in 100s of meters and other distance runs like tempo are specified in miles.

Distance == pace * duration , it seems a trivial feature to support given you support duration. I've been using a spreadsheet to estimate TSS but the process is tedious. WB would make this so much easier.

It would be fantastic if, on the calendar, you could add an annotation that shows up on your performance manager chart. The button would go in the 'Add Other' next to metrics. Pick the start day and end day of the annotation and enter text. The result will that your manager chart has the annotations noted with the appropriate dates.

This will allow an athlete to recall what they were doing at a period of time. They could annotate when they were tapering, or sick, or pushing for a PR, or whatever.

In the case studies here you have certain spots annotated to explain what they athlete was doing. I would like to be able to do that as well and have it retained in the chart. http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/what-is-the-performance-management-chart

You may need to add some real estate at the top which the annotations are always housed in, with leader arrows pointing to when they start and stop (or a singular day if thats all that is noted).

Right now, comment flags are all bunched together in the Notifications box at the top of the screen. This can be confusing and require a lot of clicking if there are a lot of comments to go through.

It'd be much more helpful if the comment notification icon appeared on the workout where the comment was posted. That way, a quick look at the Calendar would be all that's required to see where comments were posted.

It'd especially be helpful to coaches that have a lot of athletes to keep track of if comment flags were within the athlete profile per workout rather than all bunched together.
