TrainingPeaks Coaches* and Premium athletes can create recurring workouts, which saves significant workout planning time.
* TrainingPeaks coaches can use recurring workout functionality with TrainingPeaks Premium athletes (self-paid or coach-paid) only, not TrainingPeaks basic athletes.
How to Create a Recurring Workout
- From the calendar view, click the "+" button on a day header to add a workout. Alternatively, drag and drop a workout from your workout library to your TrainingPeaks calendar.
- Just below the date of the workout, click the 'Does not repeat" drop-down.
- A planning wizard appears. Fill out the days you want this workout to repeat, the number of weeks, and the end date.
- When satisfied, click 'Done'.
- Click 'Save' or 'Save and close' on the workout.
- TrainingPeaks adds the recurring workouts according to your selections in the wizard.*
*Please note that the recurring workouts population process may take some time to process. If extra processing time is needed, a prompt will appear asking you to continue. Hit that button and refresh your calendar, and the changes will be made.
How to Remove a Recurring Workout
- Click 'Delete' on the recurring workout that you'd like to remove.
- A pop-up appears. Choose 'This event' or 'This and Following Events.'
- If you select 'This and Following Events, ' TrainingPeaks will delete the current Event and all recurring Events that follow that Event*.
*Please note that the deletion process may take some time to process. If extra processing time is needed, a prompt will appear asking you to continue. Hit that button and refresh your calendar, and the changes will be made.
