Anyone try swapping in Effortless Swimming workouts into TR triathlon plan

Looking for something different than the TR swim workouts. Just signed up for Effortless Swimming, figured I’d try that for 2-3 weeks to see if it’s a better fit (30 day risk free).

I have FormSwim goggles so I can send the workouts there with no issues, I can’t seem to find an automated way to add the Effortless Swimming workouts into TrainerRoad.

Seems like the only path is to delete the swim workouts, manually add the ES ones (I’ll just put total distance & time in, no need to build the whole thing).

Before I go through that, wondering if there’s an easier way.

Do you record these swims on a watch or import them into Strava someway?

If so, your swim workouts will be imported into TrainerRoad if you’ve set up Activity Sync with Strava.

Otherwise, you can add a custom placeholder workout as you described, if you wish to have the workout scheduled on your calendar beforehand.

I’m using Form Swim goggles to record the activity. They’re coming into TR just fine, I just want a single location to look at my calendar.

Does TrainerRoad not take swims into account when “adapting” the plan? I’ve only had it for 30 days, so not too savvy. No big deal either way, but if it doesn’t I’ll only add the briefest of information.
