It would be nice if we could get a more detailed explanation this in the podcast at some point

Great idea. If you have specifics you’d like covered, please write them in to Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast - TrainerRoad for Jon to review so the team can discuss live!

Did I miss the discussion on the podcast? Is there any update regarding importing swim/run workout data into TR?

Hey dudes. My TR training diary pulls over from Garmin other non TR bike rides but not swim or run workouts. I’d there any way to set these to transfer over to the TR diary. Cheers all

I moved your comment into the related topic that already exists.
Short answer, ‘No’ there is not really syncing as most would like.

No syncing and no uploading of recorded data.

This to me as a triathlete is the biggest missing feature of TR. Without the swim/run imports it’s of minimal use. Trainingpeaks gets my subscription for another year as they DO import your swim and run workouts.

@GeorgeAnderson & @bbarrera, FYI, see the quote above from this thread, from about 19 months ago.
As you can see, runs are displayed internally. As a result we have triathletes like @GeorgeAnderson sticking to TrainingPeaks. If wish TR would flip the switch and display the runs to us…
I believe in the concept of bringing value to customer as soon as you reach minimum viable product. And TR is already there with import and display. Of course more value can be added later, that is what roadmaps are for. I just don’t understand withholding something triathletes crave. I propose we do a poll to see if people want something simple quick, or wait for something more.
What do our triathletes want?
- Flip the switch now to display runs & swims, with simple visualization.
- Maybe someday get something fancy.

@Nate_Pearson , I really hope you are reading all these triathlon posts, seeing the puzzlement of the poster of ‘No import?? 
’.
I still have hope that someday we will arrive in the promised land

I’ve given up all hope to be honest with this! Real shame as ‘seems’ an easy fix (I appreciate with software that is never the case) but this has been going on for so so long!

If the only thing that people want is to not have to tick a box then having the runs imported now would be fine. But for me theres no added value unless the TSS calculations are made and I assume that is where the sticking point is.
TP manages to calculate the tss just fine.

I’m not saying it cant be done. Just that TR dont do it at the moment, they want to do it better and so choose not to do it. Hence a sticking point.
That’s a strange business attitude if true. They don’t offer it because they’re not good enough?

I’m not sure it is a bad business practice. I can open a cafe tomorrow but I am absolutely rubbish at making coffee, I’m not going to be around for a long time and if I did go away and learn how to make coffee and open up again it would take a lot longer to regain the trust of customers before they will buy again. Learn to do the thing first and then put out a good product. TR’s core is cycling so I can totally see why they devote more resource to it. Does it suck in the mean time? Yep.
Maybe a halfway house is to give athletes the option of being able to get into that internal group of displayed runs. Athletes can choose to opt in to having their runs displayed but do so in the knowledge that it is not at all what TR would call a product.

I have to disagree with you.
Yes they are doing this with their AT open beta. This must be the longest open beta in existence.

The paint has been chipping off the “Coming Soon!” sign for a while now and I’m in the same boat as you. Check when the date of this thread started… October 2018. And there were calls for it before that as well. We get these little flourishes of chatter every few months, but nothing happens.

TR has been around for about 10 years now (I’ve been a subscriber for 9 of them), I think we’re well past the stage of learning to do the thing first and putting out a good product. It’s been a painfully slow journey at times with the pace features are released, especially when the whole system gets switched to a new code base (which has happened a few times now) killing all momentum and throws “simple” features like this to the back of the bus again along the way.
