How to Connect TrainingPeaks and Your Apple Watch
To send workouts from TrainingPeaks to your Apple Watch, you need to connect the Apple Watch Workout app.

You can access both of these connections from the "App Connections" heading in the "More" tab.
- Open the TrainingPeaks app on your phone and log in.
- Click “More” in the lower right corner of the home screen.
- Click “App Connections.”
- Select “Connect Apple Health and Workout App.”

Check "Push Notifications."

Navigate back to your workout details page.
-
If successful, a checkmark should appear on the watch icon, confirming the workout was sent to your Apple Watch.
- The default setting will automatically send seven workouts (today's workout and the next six days). You can change that to manual send under the same settings. If a workout isn't showing up on your watch, you can manually push using the Apple Watch icon on your workout in your TrainingPeaks mobile app.
How to manually send planned workouts to an Apple Watch

What do I do when my workout does not sync to TrainingPeaks?
Every time the calendar is refreshed, the app compares what HealthKit has for the last 7 days of workouts to what TrainingPeaks has. If TrainingPeaks doesn’t have a workout that is in HealthKit, a popup will tell the user where to go to resync. Users can then Import workout(s) that are missing into TrainingPeaks.
What do I do when my workout fails to sync to TrainingPeaks?
If your workout fails to sync to TrainingPeaks it will display the text ‘import failed' with ‘retry’ appearing next to it. To push that missing workout to TrainingPeaks, click ‘retry’ when you have a strong connection.
Notes:
- Indoor runs by pace do not show targets/ranges on step change.
- *The Apple Watch Ultra is the only watch that will show targets and ranges for run power.
- Secondary Targets are not supported at this time.
- Planned workouts without structure (those that do not include an interval block) are not supported at this time.
- Apple only supports swim workouts with Heart Rate targets. Power, RPE, and Pace will not be accepted. Should you add one of those to your workout step, the step will still show on the watch, but will not have any alert associated with it.
