TrainerRoad - Feature Requests of what athletes expect / want in the future

I think it would be really cool to be able to upload a .gpx file and have AI create workouts specific to features of the course and target weak spots in training (e.g. progression level based).

I’m willing to be a guinea pig if a beta version of this feature is released!

It probably came up already, but it would be awesome if -instead of having to guess which kind of event an upcoming race is supposed to be - one could just reference the same event from last year and TR would figure out itself what it is.

Granted, this might only work if the course is sufficiently similar - but this should be true for at least most amateur events.

Maybe TR could even use its AI magic to find shortcomings from the last event preparation and take appropriate steps to avoid those for a training plan leading to the new iteration.

Hi TrainerRoad team,

I’d like to request a feature that allows users to exclude specific rides or power data from PR records based on the power meter used.

From 2023 to 2024, I used a single-sided crank-based power meter, which I’ve since learned consistently misrepresented my true power due to a significant left/right leg imbalance. I now use dual-sided or pedal-based power, and I’d like my power records (Personal Records chart and power curve) to reflect only accurate data.

Currently, it’s not possible (if I’m right?) to:
• Filter or separate power records by device/source
• Remove PRs set with old or inaccurate data, without deleting entire rides (which affects training history and analysis)

Suggested features:
• Allow users to tag or filter rides by power source
• Provide an option to exclude selected rides (or power meters) from the power curve / PR chart
• OR enable users to reset PRs selectively (e.g., from a certain date or device)

This would be incredibly helpful for athletes who have upgraded to more accurate meters or discovered issues with past power data, especially in cases of L/R imbalance or faulty calibration.

Thanks for an awesome platform and for considering this!

When I have done a workout and I have lifted the wattage curve, I would like to be able to see where the curve was before this last workout, i.e. a dottet line or something.

I had something very similar happen to me.

As a quick fix, I would settle for just being able to write a note for every entry in the Account - FTP history. I have basically reverse-engineered what I think my FTP actually was going back a few years, so it would be nice to have it in one place.

I agree,

Currently usinger intervals.icu as a workaround as I here can go in on the activity with my PR’s that had the data from my left sided powermeter and ignore that. This makes a better picture on the grafs, so I can easily trace my improvements. Would be great to have something similar build into TR.

I’ve raised it here before, but I like to see the ability, on limited basis, to add historical AIFTP estimates.

Hi, it’d be more engaging and fun imo having the possibility of joining a Robopacer in zwift to do a TR workout. Sweet Spot and Endurance workouts could be done choosing a pacer riding at similar target power of your workouts. On the other hand, short rest intervals could help you developing your drafting and steering skills.

And sort of supporting the prior comment, I don’t know how many people switched from Zwift to TrainingPeaks Virtual, but I’m one of them and there’s no way I’m going back. I have to assume this platform will grow massively: it’s quite good, and TP/TPV cost me less than $100 annually while Zwift is over $200. Compelling.

So for TR’s purposes, it’s good to keep in mind both Zwift and TP Virtual.

Agree. TP Virtual keeps improving. I wasn’t a consistent enough user to justify paying for Zwift but since I already use TP it’s nice having TP Virtual there. And they keep improving it.

Just a little one but, is there any chance we could have a figure for the prescribed power on the analytical list? So if you are looking at an outside ride interval, you can see easily how close you were to the prescribed power?

I may be missing something, but at least when looking on my phone, I have to go back to the original workout to remind myself what the prescribed interval power had been.

On this list

On another thread @Jonathan brought some figures showing workout adherence, adherence for workout types and other stats.

I’d love to see those numbers for my self for the seasons selected for my power curve.

Hey all,
I’m using the Hexis app for tracking and periodizing nutrition around my training schedule, finding it beneficial for my needs. Is it possible to integrate trainerroad with Hexis in the future? Actually I’m syncing completed workout in Hexis trough Trainingpeaks, but future workouts need to be added manually in the app or copied in trainingpeaks to be considered by Hexis in its nutrition planning.
I would like to see planned Trainerroad workouts automatically uploaded in Hexis, eventually the evening before the scheduled day of workout execution, after the adaptations are done.

Also on a completed workout’s analysis page, I’d like to be able to see more than ten intervals’ details on screen at once. It could default to ten but be user-selectable. Not an issue if you’re looking at a 3×20 or 5×10 with flat intervals, but if you’re looking at a complex workout it means flicking through multiple screens, & back & forth a lot where an interval spans across a multiple of ten (they almost always do).

I’d like to see my PLs as they rated on any given day I had an activity. Right now, if my FTP is 200, and it was 200 3 months ago, there’s not much else to characterize the difference in fitness. My PLs might show that I was at 6 at Vo2 and 3 at the other, which would be a cool data point to correlate to performance. I get that changing FTP will change PLs, but understanding that, I think we can take it into account.

Has anymore been said about the calendar saying your next workout will be threshold or whatever it is going to be instead of showing an actual workout?

I would like to choose the type of event im training for and then say (or have it see) what my limiters are and make a plan based on that. So if i say hilly gravel race but i struggle with xxxx, it makes a plan that work on both-what the race needs and what is limiting you. A simple power profile test for AI to incorporate into training planning would be good.

Workout levels v2 and the fitness score would be cool

What’s fitness score? I might have missed this one.

I would love to see some basic analysis like Strava does - time in zones, that sort of thing.
