How to Hide and Lock Workouts

TrainingPeaks Coach accounts can lock or hide their athletes' planned workouts. 

Locking Functionality Overview 

When a coach locks an athlete's workout, they prevent the athlete from making any of the following changes to the workout:

• Moving the workout
• Copying the workout
• Saving the workout to the athlete's Workout Library
• Modifying planned values like duration, distance, and TSS

Hypothetical use case: 

• An athlete frequently changes the order of planned workouts which contradicts the coach's actual plan
• An athlete modifies planned workout values after the workout is completed so the workout compliance will turn green, or be compliant
• Preventing an athlete from saving a coach's workouts into their own Workout Library

Hiding Functionality Overview 

When a coach hides an athlete's workout, the athlete cannot see the planned workout on their TrainingPeaks calendar; the coach, however, can see the workout but will see the crossed-out eye icon indicating the workout is hidden.

Hypothetical Use Case: 

• A coach is performing long term planning and doesn't want the athlete to have visibility on workouts too far in the future.
• The coach enters a note to themselves as a coaching aid (a reminder, an observation, etc) that they don't need the athlete to see

How to Lock/Hide Multiple Workouts - Shift Method

1.  Click on the date header of the first workout in the range
2. Go to the last day of the range and, while holding SHIFT, click on the date header.  Please note that you are not limited to a week of lock/shift with this method, you can highlight weeks/months at a time.
3. Select one of these two options from the list that is displayed
4. This range of workouts will now each have displayed an eye with a line through it (hidden) or a lock. 
5. To show (unhide) or unlock this range of workouts, use the same steps listed above to find this option

Of Note

• Once an athlete uploads data to a workout it cannot be hidden by a coach. 
• At this time we do not offer automated 'unhiding' or 'unlocking'.  If a coach wants a locked/hidden workout to be unlocked/unhidden, they must remember to do so as TrainingPeaks does not automatically perform that function on their behalf.
