TrainingPeaks Virtual Workout Mode

Once you’ve begun your workout, your screen will display the planned intervals in two ways:

  • A list of intervals on the left side of the screen; this can be toggled on/off using the W-key.
  • A workout graph along the bottom of the screen; this can be toggled on/off using the G-key.
    As you complete the workout, the graph along the bottom will be overwritten with your actual output, so you can immediately see exactly how far through the workout you are.

Additionally, at the top center of the screen, you will see all the real-time data for your ride.

The top window contains instant HR, power, and cadence. The window below this contains the current interval target wattage and cadence, as well as average heart rate, power, and cadence for the active interval. At each interval change, the averages reset.

 

If you mouse-over the bottom middle of the screen, additional controls will appear:

From left to right, the keys are:

  • Top Row (General Actions): Camera angle, Make a U-Turn, Take a Screenshot, Join a Friend, Take a Break, Send Chat Message
  • Bottom Row (Workout Actions): Skip Back, Skip Forward, Pause, Toggle ERG mode, Increase Intensity, Decrease Intensity

When ERG mode is disabled, a slope modifier option is also shown next to the data window to allow each rider to set the constant resistance the trainer gives. This can be increased and decreased by utilizing the (-_) and (+=) keys located directly next to the (return) / (backspace) key along the number-key line of your keyboard.

As you progress through your intervals, you will pass through coloured roadside flares marking the start of each interval!
