How to Manage TrainingPeaks Plans After Uploading Them

Getting a full training plan into TrainingPeaks is only the first half of the workflow. The harder part starts when the plan changes: you switch events, miss a week, decide the block is too aggressive, or want to replace a 12-week build with a new one.

In the normal TrainingPeaks athlete workflow, that means opening the calendar and manually editing or deleting workouts one by one. A 60-workout plan that took two minutes to import can still take an hour to clean up if you need to change direction.

TrainingDojo's plan management dashboard exists for that exact gap. Premium users can see the plans they have uploaded, open each plan in a calendar view, edit workouts, rename plans, and bulk-delete a full imported plan when it is time to start over.

The Problem: Import Is Fast, Cleanup Is Slow

TrainingPeaks is excellent as a training calendar and analysis platform, but athlete-side plan operations are still mostly manual. If you import a plan and later want to remove it, you usually have to delete each workout separately.

That gets painful in common self-coached scenarios:

• You import a plan, then move your race date by two weeks
• You decide the plan is too hard after the first recovery week
• You upload a test plan and want to clear it out cleanly
• You switch from a cycling block to a triathlon block
• You want to keep TrainingPeaks clean instead of leaving stale workouts on the calendar

Without a plan-level control, each of those becomes calendar maintenance. That is time you could be using to train, recover, or make better decisions about the next block.

What TrainingDojo Tracks After Upload

When TrainingDojo uploads workouts to TrainingPeaks, it stores the plan record and the TrainingPeaks workout IDs returned by the upload. That creates a bridge between the plan you created in TrainingDojo and the workouts now living on your TrainingPeaks calendar.

That bridge enables plan-level actions that are not practical if the workouts are just anonymous calendar entries:

• View every imported plan from the My Plans dashboard
• Open a month-by-month calendar for a specific plan
• Edit workout titles, dates, durations, TSS, sport type, and descriptions
• Delete individual workouts when the plan changes
• Bulk-delete a full imported plan from TrainingPeaks

Use Case 1: Replacing a Plan

Suppose you import a 16-week half marathon plan, then realize after three weeks that your target race is unrealistic. The old workflow is messy: delete the remaining workouts manually, generate a new plan, then hope you did not miss anything.

The plan dashboard makes the workflow cleaner:

1. Open My Plans
2. Select the plan you want to remove
3. Confirm bulk delete
4. Generate or import the replacement plan

That turns "clean up the calendar" from a chore into a single deliberate action.

Use Case 2: Editing Workouts After Import

A generated plan is a strong starting point, but real athletes still need small edits. Maybe Tuesday's workout needs to move to Wednesday. Maybe the long ride is 150 minutes instead of 180. Maybe a workout title needs to match the way you label sessions in TrainingPeaks.

TrainingDojo's workout editor lets you adjust the key planned workout fields after import, then push those changes back to TrainingPeaks. That keeps the plan useful without forcing you to rebuild the workout from scratch.

Use Case 3: Reviewing the Plan as a Calendar

CSV tables are efficient for upload, but they are not how athletes think about training. A calendar view shows the rhythm of the block: where the hard days land, whether recovery weeks are actually easier, and whether long sessions fit your real life.

The plan calendar makes those patterns easier to audit before you commit to the next month of work.

Where Fueling Fits In

The same workout context used for plan management also powers per-workout fueling guidance. Open a workout and TrainingDojo can estimate practical pre, during, and post-session targets based on the workout duration, sport, and training load.

The Best Workflow

1. Generate a plan with TrainingDojo's AI plan builder or bring your own CSV
2. Import it to TrainingPeaks
3. Use My Plans to review the uploaded calendar
4. Edit workouts when life changes
5. Use fueling guidance for key sessions
6. Bulk-delete stale plans when you replace a block

That is the difference between a one-time import tool and a real planning layer. TrainingPeaks remains the execution calendar. TrainingDojo handles plan creation, upload, cleanup, and the practical decisions around each workout.
