How to Find Your TrainingPeaks Bearer Token and Athlete ID

TrainingDojo needs two pieces of information to upload workouts to your TrainingPeaks calendar: your bearer token and your athlete ID. No need to understand coding or athying crazy, You only need your browser's Developer Tools.

This guide walks through the exact clicks. Just take it one step at a time.

Before You Start

Use a desktop or laptop browser. Chrome and Edge are the easiest. Safari and Firefox can work too, but the names and layout may look a little different.

You will also need to be logged in to TrainingPeaks in that same browser.

What You Are Looking For

Most TrainingPeaks requests include the information TrainingDojo needs:

• Bearer token: a long text value that starts with Bearer
• Athlete ID: a number that appears in many TrainingPeaks request URLs

Your bearer token works like a temporary password for your TrainingPeaks session. Every 15 minutes TrainingPeaks gives you a new one. This token is never stored in TrainingDojo, and never uses any permissions beyond uploading workouts to your calendar.

Step 1: Open TrainingPeaks

1. Open app.trainingpeaks.com.
2. Log in to your TrainingPeaks account.
3. Go to your calendar or dashboard.

Leave TrainingPeaks open. The next steps all happen inside the same browser tab.

Step 2: Open Developer Tools

Developer Tools is a panel built into your browser. It lets you see the background requests that websites make while they load data.

1. Right-click anywhere on the TrainingPeaks page.
2. Click Inspect.
3. A panel should open on the side or bottom of your browser.

You can also press F12 on Windows, or Option + Command + I on Mac.

Step 3: Click the Network Tab

At the top of the Developer Tools panel, look for tabs like Elements, Console, and Network. Click Network.

If you do not see it, the panel may be narrow. Click the >> menu and choose Network from there.

Step 4: Refresh TrainingPeaks

1. Make sure the Network tab is still open.
2. Refresh the TrainingPeaks page.
3. Wait a few seconds while the list fills with requests.

The requests may look intimidating. You do not need most of them. You only need to click one request that was sent to TrainingPeaks.

Step 5: Find a TrainingPeaks Data Request

Click a request in the Network list that looks like it came from TrainingPeaks. Good requests often include words like athlete, calendar, workout, or fitness.

After you click a request, look for a panel with tabs such as Headers, Payload,Preview, and Response. Stay on Headers.

Step 6: Copy the Bearer Token

In the selected request, scroll through the Request Headers section until you find Authorization.

The value should look something like this:

Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOi...

1. Select everything after Authorization:.
2. Include the word Bearer.
3. Copy the full value.
4. Paste it into TrainingDojo's bearer token field.

If you only copy the long text after Bearer, TrainingDojo may not be able to authenticate. Copy the whole value, including Bearer and the space after it.

Step 7: Copy the Athlete ID

Now look near the top of the same Headers panel for the Request URL. Many TrainingPeaks URLs include your athlete ID as a number.

It may look similar to one of these examples:

https://tpapi.trainingpeaks.com/fitness/v6/athletes/123456/calendar
https://tpapi.trainingpeaks.com/workouts/v2/athletes/123456/workouts

In those examples, 123456 is the athlete ID. Your number will be different. Copy only the number and paste it into TrainingDojo's athlete ID field.

If You Do Not See Authorization

Try these fixes:

• Click a different TrainingPeaks request in the Network list.
• Refresh the page again while the Network tab is open.
• Open your TrainingPeaks calendar, then click through a few days so more requests appear.
• Use the Network search or filter box and try athlete, calendar, or workout.

Static files like images, fonts, and JavaScript files usually will not have what you need. You are looking for a data request that loads your TrainingPeaks account information.

If TrainingDojo Says the Token Failed

Bearer tokens expire. If TrainingDojo says the token is invalid, go back to TrainingPeaks, refresh the page, and copy a fresh token from a new request.

Also check for common copy mistakes:

• The token should start with Bearer.
• There should be one space after Bearer.
• Do not include the label Authorization:.
• Do not add quotes before or after the token.
• The athlete ID should be numbers only.

Once you have the bearer token and athlete ID, return to TrainingDojo and continue your import. Those two values are all TrainingDojo needs to create the workouts on your TrainingPeaks calendar.
