Communications center for Trainingpeaks

Is there a way to communicate with the coach? For example, can I ask him general questions within the Training Peaks App (not externally via email, of course I can always do that)? The answer is no.

And secondly, can I ask him specific questions about a workout in the future? The only option I see is to leave a post workout comment, but what if I have a question about a specific workout in the future, do I need to ask this question via the 'post workout comment' field (and will he get notified if I ask a question?) or is there another way (other then emailing him which of course I can always do) The answer is no too.

This was all possible in TodaysPlan (via an extra notification center), but I cannot find it in Training Peaks. It would be great if Training Peaks can create such a feature.

    I recommend putting in a stand alone inbox for the management of athlete communication. If the inbox has adjustable setting on what notifications you would like to see this would be even better so you could turn off all the workout upload notifications and metric notifications.
    The current setup of notifications that training peaks has it is easy to lose messages whereas a standalone inbox allows you to see all athlete communication a lot easier.
    A search function would further improve functionality allowing you to search for certain athletes or time periods, read or unread messages will improve functionality.
    In addition an easy way to swap between read and unread for the messages this would be great rather than just once it's clicked on it is read and it stays that way. It will allow coaches to stay ontop of messages they have actioned and those they haven't.
    Today's plan had all of this functionality and it helped amazingly with coaching work flow and allowing easy and effective communication.
    If done well it could be combined with more precise notifications like only notifying abitj workouts when it doesn't match scheduled workouts or metrics in certain ranges etc.

    As someone who works with a lot of junior athletes and has to worry about communication from a safesport perspective, it would be awesome to see an in-app messenger. This would allow all communication to take place in one central location and allow parents to monitor all communication.
