Exporting Workouts
Currently to export a workout file for use on a trainer it seems you need to first put it in your calendar. Didn't realise this and wasted time before I accidentally discovered this. This is an unnecessary extra step, so would like to see the ability to export direct from the Workout Library.
We apologize that this tripped you up. Yes, it is required that workouts are planned on your calendar in order to sync with one of our partners. The reason for this is to encourage coached athletes, or athletes following a training plan, to perform their prescribed workouts. For self-coached athletes we still feel it is valuable to plan your workouts in advance. Being able to compare planned versus actual can help determine if the workout was successfully executed.
Planning workouts on the calendar will allow you to take advantage of our Structured Workout Overlay feature. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/stay-on-track-with-the-new-structured-workout-overlay/
Workouts can be quickly planned, or rescheduled, for the current day with both our web and mobile apps. Planning workouts for the current day is available for both basic and premium athletes. Planning workouts in to the future does require a premium account.
