Apple Watch Custom Workouts w/ TrainingPeaks - Structured Workouts on your Apple Watch 

Good job explaining all the new features Des. I completely agree on the data field customization! Probably an easy fix down the line

Thank you for your videos 2023! Wish you a marry Christmas and a happy new year! Looking forward to 2024 and your videos! Greetings from Germany! 🇩🇪

Apple is making steps in the right direction but still has a ways to go to be a serious sport watch. But I’m happy to see the direction they are taking.

How do you get it to audibly tell you if you’re in or out of zone? Mine only vibrates. I have AirPods but cannot figure it out

So do Training Peaks workout targets show up on the workout app screens since the latest watch OS or do they still just show up once when changing blocks? Thx!

Can you connect a STRYD pod with the TrainingPeaks workout?

I have now found out the following. When I import a workout from TrainingPeaks to the Apple Watch and then start this TP workout (with the TP app icon), I don't get any audio notifications, only the intervals are shown by vibration and on the display. However, if you call up the TrainingPeaks workout and then scroll all the way down, you get the "Add to App Training" function. If you do this (you can then set indoor or outdoor) and then start the training from the training app in the "Running" section, you will also get all the audio notifications about the interval times and whether you are above or below the current pace.

hi - I loved your video. I just downloaded the app, followed the connection steps and my coach has added the new schedule for the next month in my App. I received a notification on my iwatch (trainingpeaks notification) that a new schedule was uploaded in the app. So the watch and App on the phone are synced. Now... I don't get to see the TrainingPeaks blue screen in my workout app on my iwatch. How can I fix this?

Hi Des, Wishing you an abundance of peace, joy, and prosperity this Holiday Season and throughout the New Year. Greatly appreciate your videos, if I need your suggestion with Whoop strap. I feel that hear rate sensor is not too accurate in intense workouts which in turn will affect all the parameters like strain, HRV and recovery. Could you please throw some light in this matter.

The other frustrating thing about structured workouts for indoors is that this feature does not work with GymKit. I dont expect it to control the treadmill (I can do that), but I would like the stats to be synced up between the two. It would also be easier if you could see the segment # on the AW screen (at least big enough to see), the target pace (so you know what to set the treadmill too) and some advance warning that the next interval is approaching….

Can you someone explain how a swimming workout would be tracked?

Doing pace runs and can’t show the pace zone anywhere? I need that zone window or dial like on Garmin and no way to show this?

So if I wanted to start training for a 5K could Training Peaks set up a program for me?

Does the workout show all data in the Apple Fitness app? Like native workout vs third party workouts? Some third party apps only show a couple of HR readings and no pace, elevation, power etc.

Hey Des, I know this question has nothing to do with this nice video, but do you know if suunto has anything similar to garmins’ daily suggested workouts?

Thanks for this. How does Training Peaks / TrainerRoad / Final Surge /Custom Workouts API enabled apps compare to Garmin Suggested Daily Workouts? I just switched to Garmin with HRM Pro from Apple Watch for running workouts, but this seems tempting. Thank you.

Does it work for swimming workouts?? Yet *😊

One of you last comments goes against what a lot of people are experiencing. I've come across a lot of complaints about how bad the indoor/treadmill distance is with Apple Watch. Mine routinely misses by a pretty large margin. Do you think there's any chance they'll ever let people adjust post-run distance for treadmill like Garmin does?

Hello, I have question. I start the run, but i forget which HR shoud i run or which pace. How to see it without watching the Iphone? It's so bad that there is not any function for it.

Cool👍

I have an Apple Watch Series 7, I installed the latest version of iOS, watchOS and the Training Peaks app, however when I upload the structured training to the Apple Watch it only shows the distances or time of each stage of the running training, not the pace, although a pace zone is determined in training peaks. It appears that it does not upload this pace zone. Does anyone know how to solve it? Or is this because pace upload is only available for apple watch series 9/ultra?

Cool. So, you just need to pay between $375 to $750 for 3 years plus all training plans + AW = winner for these two companies but loser for your wallet. 😂 Instead you could just buy Garmin for between $300 and $800 and pay nothing ever again. Hm, which one is better??

With no ERG mode support this is pretty much useless for indoor. No autopause on 0 power/cadence. No workout graph, no TSS/NP/IF/you-name-it - who will buy this??
