Workout Details Don't Match Description?

Why Your TrainingPeaks Workout Shows Two Sets of Instructions

It’s normal to see two instruction sections in your TrainingPeaks workout. Each one has a different purpose.

1. Description (Coach Instructions)

• Written by Phil

• Explains the purpose and focus of the session

• Helps you understand how to approach the workout (effort, form, mindset)

• Always read this section first

2. Details (Auto-Generated Targets)

• Created automatically by TrainingPeaks

• Uses your personal thresholds (FTP, Threshold Run Pace, etc.)

• Shows the exact target intensities for each interval

• These targets are what export to your watch or bike computer

Why There Are Two Sections

• Description: Coaching guidance

• Details: Personalised intensity targets so the structured workout matches your fitness level

Keep Your Thresholds Updated

Accurate thresholds = accurate intensity targets.

• Update Swim Speed: Enter or Update Your Thresholds and Training Zones in TrainingPeaks (Swim)
• Update Your Bike FTP: Enter or Update Your Thresholds and Training Zones in TrainingPeaks (Bike)
• Update Your Run Threshold: Enter or Update Your Thresholds and Training Zones in TrainingPeaks (Run)

Regular fitness tests (e.g., time trials) help ensure your workouts remain appropriate as you progress.

Summary

• Read the Description for coaching advice

• Follow the Details for correct intensity targets

• Update your thresholds regularly for best training results

If you need help updating thresholds or have questions, please contact TrainingPeaks Support or check out more resources in the Help Center.
