Incredibly frustrating. I would rather wait a few days for a human to answer than the piece crap AI support chatbot. In the calendar there is some basic filtering, but I was curious to see if my endurance runs have been under a certain pa:hr value without having to check each workout. Couldn't find it so I inquired about being able to filter workouts to see if it was possible. Got the response and they said no. Thats fine, but by sheer luck I opened dashboard and saw the workout comparison, and I was able to that exact thing. I didn't think much of it. I then seen that in the workout comparison the numbers for NGP and avg pace are way off and don't match what's given in the workout file on TP. So, I sent TP another message attached with screenshot of the data. Got another AI response, this was just blatantly wrong. It said pace was distance divided by time which is actually speed and claimed that NGP has small speed variations leading to weird time and ignored that avg pace was more or less the same time and if you took the time and divided by the distance you wouldn't get any of the numbers in the lap comparison. Got a response in seconds after I sent a reply, not answering anything that I said but did mention the avg pace is time divided by distance this time which was better.

I can't understand why TP would use an AI support bot when it can't even understand the product or know when it's wrong giving like avg pace. I don't even know if anything it said is true. I know I am getting odd numbers in workout comparison that don't reflect the workout files.

Many of us are already doing this manually: pulling TrainingPeaks data, doing the maths, trying to figure out what to eat around a training block. I come from a marathon and ultra background, now a club cyclist, and I wanted to make that process easier so I built something.

It's called Velorific. It connects to TrainingPeaks and Strava, reads your training load after every session, and automatically adjusts your daily macro targets around it. Carbs move with the effort. Protein and fat stay fairly consistent. Hard day means more, rest day pulls back, easy spin sits somewhere in between. I've written up the methodology and sources in more detail in a blog post if anyone wants to dig into the reasoning behind it.

Started as a spreadsheet, then a local server on my laptop, then something polished enough to share with my running and cycling clubs. Still early days and genuinely open to feedback from people who train seriously, good or bad.

The difference for me personally has been consistency. Hard days are properly fuelled. Easier days are less random. Lost a bit of weight without ever trying to diet in the traditional sense, which I wasn't expecting.

If anyone is doing interesting things with their TrainingPeaks data around nutrition I would love to hear about it here too.

the new version will probably be out in the next week (they said "around mid may" a little while ago)

Looks quite good as a step forward 😉

For the last couple weeks, when i have a planned workout from TrainingPeaks with a final section labeled cool down rouvy will not save that lap to Garmin or TP. (I.e. if an 1hr work out has a 5 min cooldown at the end only 55 min are uploads)

I have tried toggling the save warmup and cool down in settings multiple times to no luck. What am i doing wrong? Anyone else have this issue and found a fix?
