Can I Use My Peloton Bike with My Plan?

Peloton isn’t directly compatible with TrainingPeaks, so you can’t follow Phil’s workouts automatically on your Peloton Bike. But you can still use Peloton effectively to support your MyProCoach plan.

Why Peloton Can Work Well

Peloton is great for motivation, variety, and convenience. It’s an easy way to stay consistent, especially when training indoors. The key is to match the purpose of your planned workout rather than replicate it exactly.

Pros

• Motivating and fun – engaging coaches, great music, and variety.

• Convenient – quick to start, no setup needed.

• Structured – Power Zone, Endurance, and HIIT rides offer clear guidance.

• Flexible – search by ride type and duration to fit your plan.

How to Choose a Ride

1. Check your TrainingPeaks workout – note the type, duration, and intensity.

2. Use Peloton filters – choose rides that align with your goal (e.g., Power Zone Endurance for long rides, Intervals, Progression, or Hills for harder days).

3. Match the intent – keep the same purpose (recovery, tempo, etc.) to stay on track.

Training Intensities 

Perform the Peloton 20-minute FTP test to update your power zones — this will automatically adjust the intensity targets for your Peloton rides. 

Afterward, update your FTP in TrainingPeaks so your Training Stress Scores (TSS) stay accurate. Repeat the test regularly, following the schedule in your training plan.

Uploading Peloton Rides to TrainingPeaks

Peloton doesn’t sync directly, but you can still log completed rides via Strava:

1. Connect Peloton to Strava (Settings → Social → Strava → Connect).

2. Peloton sends your ride automatically to Strava.

3. Export the .fit file from Strava and upload manually.

Final Thoughts

Peloton doesn’t perfectly match for your MyProCoach structured training but it’s an excellent tool for staying consistent, motivated, and enjoying your workouts.

The best plan is the one you can stick to — and if Peloton helps you do that, it’s a win.
