TrainingPeaks Premium athletes and TrainingPeaks Coaches can enable weather on their TrainingPeaks calendars, making it easier to anticipate and adjust training to weather conditions.

Please note that an Athlete’s location can be set by the athlete and the coach. That is unique to the logged-in user. For example, if Billy is coaching you, he could enter his location as Boulder, and you could have your location as Denver. Billy would see the weather data for the location each of us had entered.

Weather Functionality Details

- Weather will be displayed for today and seven days in the future for a total of 8 days, based upon forecasts derived from the designated location. The forecast will not change dynamically with the location of the user. If a user changes location, they will need to update it.
- Weather displays in the units (Imperial or Metric) associated with the account settings of the user.
- Currently, weather is only available on the TrainingPeaks web app, not the mobile application.
- Forecasts are drawn from OpenWeather.
