Getting the Most Out of TrainingPeaks

TrainingPeaks is an incredibly powerful tool that will become central to your training journey with me. As your coach, I use it to design your personalised training plans, monitor your progress, and make real-time adjustments based on how your body is responding to the work we're doing together.

Understanding Zone Labels vs Heart Rate Values

Important: Your workouts are prescribed as percentages of your LTHR (e.g., 70–80% LTHR). TrainingPeaks will calculate the correct heart rate values based on your threshold, but the zone label it displays (e.g., "Zone 1" or "Zone 2") may not match what you expect.

This is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

TrainingPeaks assigns zone labels based on whichever zone calculation method your account uses (Friel, Coggan, British Cycling, etc.). Because we prescribe workouts as percentages of threshold, the zone label is irrelevant—what matters is the actual heart rate range displayed.
