One feature I believe is essential for TrainingPeaks Virtual is the ability to automatically upload completed rides to Garmin Connect.
For athletes who use Garmin devices, having workouts synced back to Garmin is extremely important. It allows all training metrics—such as Training Load, Recovery Time, VO₂ Max, Acute Load, and other physiological metrics—to remain accurate and up to date.
Currently, if a workout completed in TrainingPeaks Virtual is not uploaded to Garmin Connect, Garmin treats it as if it never happened. This breaks the continuity of the athlete’s training history and makes Garmin’s training recommendations and recovery metrics much less reliable.
I believe adding automatic synchronization from TrainingPeaks Virtual to Garmin Connect should be a high-priority feature. It would greatly improve the experience for athletes who rely on Garmin’s ecosystem while still using TrainingPeaks as their primary training platform.
