Allow for seperate HR training zones for cycling and running within the user profile
Currently, trainingpeaks.com only supports setting a singular set of HR training zones for each user in user profile. However, it is a commonly known aspect that HR training zones for running and cycling are almost always going to differ by 8-10bpm. Right now, I just use my HR zones computed on my running LTHR. But the metrics on the dashboard are pretty well skewed for total training time in these zones as the single setting of zones applies only to running or cycling, and do not have a way to differentiate these. For example, if I'm riding for 2hours and my HR is ~140, according to my current TP profile, that is counted as a zone 2 workout because I have my zones based on my running LTHR. However, this is in fact a solid zone 3 ride. I'm also curious how many other metrics are skewed due to this like TSS or IF scores. Since you can save workouts as either a bike or run, it should be fairly easy to setup this option. Thanks!
Karen is spot on with her comment on this. TrainingPeaks.com already has the ability to set sport specific HR zones. If you continue to have troubles with this, our support team would be happy to help you setup this feature within your account:

Thanks for taking the time to make the request though!!

Your request confuses me - I personally have set a different HR zone for swim, bike and run (3 different threshold HR's) - I think what you are asking for already exists in TP (unless what you are asking is something different than this). Just click on the ADD Zone button and choose your sport.
