This article is to explain how to setup a training plan on Training Peaks from your desktop, you can follow the guide below once you have a subscription to TrainingPeaks, and have purchased a workout plan.

What Is TrainingPeaks?

If you don’t know already, TrainingPeaks is software that provides the complete solution for smart and effective endurance training, and is suitable for both Athletes and Coaches. It is what I use for planning my Ironman Training and workouts, as a plan slots right in and gives you daily calendar info on what training you have scheduled, and it even syncs with your Google Calendar and can send daily reminders to keep you on track.

Who Uses TrainingPeaks?

TrainingPeaks solutions are used by Tour de France teams, IRONMAN® World Champions, Olympians, and age group athletes and coaches around the world to track, analyze and plan their training.

How Much Does It Cost?

They offer a free plan, plus a paid for premium plan, details of what each plan includes can be found on their website here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/pricing/

I went for a Premium Plan, but I believe if you purchase a training plan it can also be used on the Free Plan.

How Do I Get A Training Plan On Training Peaks?

There is a wide variety of training plans to choose from, suitable for Triathlon, Cycling, Running, Swimming, Duathlon plus more. Check out the details on their website here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans

Once you have a account on TrainingPeaks, head over to the store and find one that suits your budget, workout goals and discipline.

The rest of this article assumes you already have a TrainingPeaks subscription, and have purchased a plan but are unsure what to do next. Once you know the steps, it should take you no more than a couple of minutes to apply your newly purchased plan.

The ironman plan in brief is:

Here is the full Ironman Training Plan description:

Are you ready for your Iron Man race? So you’ve followed the plan, BUT you’re nowhere near where you wanted to be. So let’s turn that around NOW!

What if we told you we can help get you back on track. Give you a plan written by our Head Coach that actually works so that you get fitter and FASTER. Plus we will get you on track with your nutrition so that you learn EXACTLY how to drop body fat and have loads of energy in training. You’ll get EXCLUSIVE access and support from 4 experienced coaches in our private members only group where everyone is learning how to build their performance so you start believing in your training again.

Learn the FACTS not fads of sports nutrition so that you stop wasting time and money on silly diets, supplements and learn EXACTLY how to fuel your training, racing and look leaner. If you haven’t seen any notable improvements this winter, we can help you but you have to WANT to change that now.

If you’re tight on time, this is for you If you want qualified, experienced support this is for you If you want to be FASTER in your next Ironman, this is for you If you want to look leaner in your TRI suite, this is for you.

If you want RESULTS, this is for you If you’re not willing to put the hard work in, this isn’t for you.

NB: We have worked everything off time and RPE in the bike and runs and distance in the swim. There are varying ranges of pace and intensities so that we work all energy systems to develop fitness, speed and power. (You don’t need a HR Monitor or Power Meter)

Important Disclaimer: Tri Force programmes, projects and coaching involves strenuous activity and many of the latest concepts in nutrition. You should check with your GP if you have ANY doubts as to whether our any of our programmes, projects and coaching is suitable for you. You participate in any of our programmes, projects and coaching at your OWN risk and know of no disability, medical, physical or mental condition which could affect your ability to take part in ANY of our programmes, projects and coaching.

Once again, the Ironman Training Plan I am following can be found here.
