Workout Vault: Turn Your TrainingPeaks History Into a Reusable Workout Library

The Workout Vault turns your TrainingPeaks history into a reusable workout library. Import past workouts, filter to your best sessions, rebuild them as structured templates with AI, and publish them back to TrainingPeaks.

TrainingDojo Team

If you have trained with TrainingPeaks for any length of time, you are sitting on a goldmine. Hundreds of workouts that actually worked: the threshold session that lifted your FTP, the long run that nailed marathon pace, the brick that finally clicked before race day. The problem is that those sessions are buried in your calendar history, scattered across years, and impossible to reuse without retyping them one workout at a time.

The Workout Vault fixes that. It is TrainingDojo's new workflow for turning your TrainingPeaks history into a reusable workout library. You import your past workouts, find the best ones, let AI rebuild them as clean structured templates, and publish them back to TrainingPeaks as a library, a plan, or a calendar block. Instead of starting every training cycle from a blank week, you start from the work you already know is good.

What Is the Workout Vault?

The Workout Vault is a tool that helps you reuse TrainingPeaks workouts instead of recreating them. It takes the workouts you have already completed, lets you filter down to the sessions worth keeping, and converts them into reusable workout templates you can drop into any future plan.

Most athletes treat their training history as a record of what happened. The Vault treats it as raw material. Every well-described session in your past is a template waiting to be reused: a recoverable, repeatable, editable block of training you built once and can now apply again whenever the calendar calls for it.

The Four Steps: Import, Review, Structure, Publish

Building a workout library from history follows the same four steps every time. Each step has a dedicated guide linked below, but here is the full picture.

1. Import Your TrainingPeaks History

You bring your workouts into the Vault in one of two ways. The fastest is the in-app option: connect TrainingPeaks, choose a date range, and TrainingDojo pulls your workout summary directly without you leaving the app. The range defaults to the last month and supports up to two years of history. The second way is a manual upload: export your workout summary ZIP or CSV from TrainingPeaks and drop it into the Vault.

Either way, the result is the same: your past sessions appear in TrainingDojo with their title, sport, date, duration, TSS, intensity factor, and the planned description you wrote at the time. For the full walkthrough of both methods, see how to export your TrainingPeaks workout history.

2. Review and Filter to Your Best Workouts

Two years of training is a lot of noise. The Vault gives you review views to cut through it: Ready (eligible workouts that already have a usable description), Needs description, All eligible, All workouts, and Generated. You can search by title or description, filter by sport, and include or exclude keywords like "vo2", "threshold", or "recovery" to surface a specific training stimulus.

This is where you decide what is worth keeping. A workout is "ready" when it has a description the AI can read. If a session you love is missing one, you can edit the description inline so it becomes eligible. The goal is a shortlist of your genuinely best sessions, not a dump of every easy spin you ever logged.

3. Let AI Rebuild Them as Structured Templates

Select the ready workouts you want and the Vault uses AI to convert each one into a structured workout: a clean series of intervals and effort blocks with specific power or pace targets. It reads your planned description plus the historical metrics (TSS, IF, power, heart rate) and produces a canonical template with a fresh duration, IF, TSS, and block count you can review before saving.

This step costs structured workout credits, and you review the cost before spending anything. The difference between a free-text calendar note and a true structured template is the whole point of the Vault. If you want the deeper comparison, read CSV vs structured workouts, and to convert a whole plan at once see bulk converting a plan to structured workouts.

4. Publish to TrainingPeaks or Export to Zwift

Once your templates are generated, publish them back to TrainingPeaks in whichever form fits: a Workout Library for reusable assets, a Coach Plan for a structured block, or directly onto an Athlete Calendar. Bike and run templates that carry power or pace targets are also Zwift-ready, so you can download them as .zwo files in a single ZIP. The full breakdown of each destination lives in bulk-publishing workouts to TrainingPeaks.

Why Reuse Beats Rebuilding

Athletes and coaches lose hours every season recreating workouts they have already done. A new training block starts, and the same threshold ladder, the same tempo progression, and the same race-pace simulation all get typed in again from memory. Reusing your TrainingPeaks workouts removes that busywork and keeps the prescription consistent, which is exactly what progressive overload depends on.

  • Your library reflects what actually worked for your body, not a generic template.
  • Structured versions are editable, so you can nudge targets up as fitness improves.
  • One vault serves every cycle: base, build, and peak all pull from the same trusted sessions.
  • Coaches can save an athlete's best sessions once and apply them again across the roster.

Who the Workout Vault Is For

Self-coached athletes use it to build a personal reusable workout library from the sessions that moved the needle. Coaches use it to mine an athlete's history and assemble a coach workout library worth reapplying. If you coach in TrainingPeaks, the coach workout library guide shows that workflow end to end. The Vault works alongside the rest of TrainingDojo and supports the same training platforms the importer does.

Why TrainingDojo Is the Only Tool That Does This

TrainingPeaks lets you save individual workouts to a library manually, but it has no way to mine your history in bulk, rebuild old sessions as structured templates, and publish them back at scale. AI tools can write a workout in text but cannot read your real training history or push anything to your calendar. The Workout Vault is the only workflow that connects your TrainingPeaks past to a structured, reusable future in a few clicks.

The Bottom Line

Your best training is already done. The Workout Vault helps you stop letting it gather dust. Import your TrainingPeaks history, filter to the sessions worth keeping, rebuild them as structured templates, and publish them into a reusable workout library you will draw on for years.

Open the Workout Vault to import your first block of history and turn your best past workouts into templates you can use again.
