Associate and disassociate completed activities with planned workouts
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.

Pairing and Unpairing workouts is now available in the TrainingPeaks web-app! Thank you everyone for you feedback and patience on this feature.
This help article explains the details:

Please implement! This is a pain.

Adding my name to the list of users who want to see this feature. Just had another workout load up to the wrong planned activity.

yes, please make this a priority in you backlog. Drag activity and drop on planned activity. Should be easy.

Amazed this still hasn't been sorted after two years! Why would I pay for a product with such fundamental features missing TP?

Ok, so day one of TP and my commute to work activity links itself to my planned workout for later that day. So now I've got to manually move things around. That's pretty poor. I would expect it to spot the 2 separate activities at least and re-adjust, not just the first one done?

Would really like to see something like Andy Gajraj's idea implemented. I would have thought that this would already be a standard feature hence my finding this idea post when searching for the instructions.
Thanks to Michael Casanova for his work around which does the job for the interim.

Michael Casanova it works! Thanks for this! :)
1. Open the workout.
2. Click on Files.
3. Download the workout file; it's a .gz file
4. Open the planned workout.
5. Click on Files
6. Select File from my computer, which is the .gz file I downloaded in Step 3.
7. Delete the workout in Step 1 to avoid duplication. -

Come on TP... just let us click on our uploaded workout and drag it into our coach's planned workout so they sync. Should be easy. Should be a priority fix too based on the number of people responding to this.

Honestly, this is a shocking omission. So many features, bit this is basic and necessary. Everyone will hit this at some point if they do multiple things in a day, or have strength workouts listed, or those "other" type workouts that are just comment placeholders in purchased training plans.
TP just randomly shoves them in any which way. OK, fine, whatever, but give us a way of fixing it!

i just delete the file out of the coach planned session and upload the correct file if this happens and it works absolutely fine?

Yes this is a just plain silly that only way to match planned training is this 7 stage process.. It is hilarious for this really rare case when I do have like two runs planned for same day.

+1 to this, ive tried manipulating the workout times and adding extra sessions and things to accommodate the upload sequence but its never reliable. Would be a great feature to have and an annoyance saver.

I would LOVE to see this feature as well and have wrote an email to TP for this. There is the workaround that Michael Casanova has mentioned, but it's cumbersome and needs to be done on a computer. This feature would make life much easier!

A simple button to match a downloaded workout into a coach-planned entry would be very handy. Accordingly, an "Unmatch" button to remove downloaded data from an existing entry as well.
Sometimes the system matches a downloaded workout into the wrong coach-entered entry. Sometimes it doesn't match it at all, in the case of an "Other" workout such as Strength Training. Currently, a user has to download the data file to their computer, and reupload it to the correct workout. This is cumbersome. A "Match" and "Unmatch" button would make this process much easier.
Thanks for the consideration!

New to TP, but I can share how I've been doing this.
My coach creates the training plan. I complete and upload the workout; sometimes the workout matches the training plan, but when it doesn't, this is what I do:
1. Open the workout.
2. Click on Files.
3. Download the workout file; it's a .gz file
4. Open the planned workout.
5. Click on Files
6. Select File from my computer, which is the .gz file I downloaded in Step 3.
7. Delete the workout in Step 1 to avoid duplication.It seems like a lot of steps, but it's just verbose; can be done pretty quickly.

Please, please, please TP add this feature. Many of us put a lot of time and energy into both our training plans and our workouts. To have them not match, and then not be able to fix this is quite frustrating.

Not having the ability to do this dimishes the value of the Red/Green/Yellow dashboard concept. After deleteing data that was loaded into the wrong workout by dashboard for that workout is still red. All happened after accidental moving a workout TP to the previous day then not being able to move back (Understand future planning is a Premuim feature) Understood would have issue so decided wait to upload data but at 3:00 AM my Garmin has other ideas. Thought by deleting all data things would be okay but still red on dashboard even though day is not over.

Another vote for this... come on TP sort out an obvious flaw.
