I have been using the Workout Builder with success but as it stands, though a great addition, I feel that it lacks an important feature which is presently available in the likes of PerfPRO Studio.

The feature I would like to see within TrainingPeaks is the ability to take a previous ride, particularly an outdoor ride, and have the power data in that ride converted into a workout which can then be ridden on a platform such as Zwift using the current excellent TrainingPeaks + Zwift integration.

Such an option would be invaluable for those of us where the winters are long, wet, cold and dark as it would allow us to repeat rides done in better weather during the winter months, essentially re-riding outdoor rides, indoors.

I see it working like this:

1). I perform a ride outdoors and during that ride using my head unit I collect the usual POWER, speed, HR, cadence etc. data. This file us uploaded to TrainingPeaks in the usual way.

2). At some future date (weather poor etc.) I decide I want to re-ride that ride as an indoor workout, I could decide this on the day or in advance of the planned ride date.

3). I select a new option from the appropriate ride in the TrainingPeaks workout pop-up menu which says something like "Generate .erg workout from ride power data". I am then given the option of which library to save this new .erg workout to. The workout is saved as a "% of FTP workout" as the rider's FTP at the time of the original ride is known by the system anyway.

4). This ride workout is then in my library for ever and I drag it to my calendar or the calendar of another rider in the usual way.

5). On the appointed day I load up Zwift and the Workout Of The Day is pulled from TrainingPeaks into Zwift using the currently existing system and lo and behold I ride my previous outdoor ride indoors using the Zwift interface, scaled to whatever my current FTP is.

This all sounds long-winded but in essence what is required to achieve this is for TrainingPeaks to generate a .erg file from existing workout power data which, to an expert coder, should be straightforward.

The ramp rate warning flags in the PMC are a big help. It's great to be able to see when a planned week may be too aggressive.

However, the flags only appear on a calendar week basis, so on a rolling seven day basis, it's still possible to unintentionally exceed the target ramp rate. With more fragile athletes, this can cause problems.

To avoid that, it'd be a big help to have ramp rate warning flags in the PMC that calculate ramp rate on a rolling 7-day basis. That way, if a particular training day is too aggressive relative to it's preceding days, the athlete and coach would be alerted visually and immediately.

Love the new Activity feed in the home page. Is making coaching many athletes so much better. I think one thing that would really enhance the experience is the ability to see all athletes or premium athletes at once.

I use the athlete group feature a lot. I have 20 groups including athletes who are on a break or leave the group but may return. The activity feed show only one activity group at a time. So the process of going through all groups is still better than one athlete at a time but still not perfect.

I dream of a TP that has the ability to select multiple groups (maybe even defaults to that view) or even an All function that allows me to check the feed and see everyone's workouts at one go.

I would then check the feed at 10am to see sets from the morning and again at night to see the afternoon/evening sets. Give immediate feedback quickly which the athletes love and makes me a better coach.

Thank you for the feed. You are making some great new achievements. I think with this enhancement you will save so much time for coaches!

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 ;)
