Users of Colorado-based TrainingPeaks’ training app for endurance coaches and athletes can send structured bike and run workouts directly to the Apple Watch Workout app.

This integration brings together the effectiveness of personalised training and coaching through TrainingPeaks with the workout capabilities of Apple Watch (www.apple.com/watch).

“Apple Watch has become an even more in-demand training device for TrainingPeaks athletes,” said Dirk Friel, co-founder of TrainingPeaks. “We’ve heard from a lot of users who want to see TrainingPeaks and Apple Watch working more closely together. Specifically, to have their planned TrainingPeaks workouts available within the powerful Apple Watch Workout app.”

Now with a simple tap, athletes can send their workouts from TrainingPeaks directly to the Apple Watch Workout app, making it simple to follow, and they can complete every step of their training on their device. And through Auto Send, they can view the next week of workouts from their coach or training plan on their watch, making the experience even more seamless.

“This integration with the Apple Watch is not just a technological advancement, it’s a leap forward in making high-quality training accessible and practical for both elite athletes and everyday enthusiasts,” said Friel. “It perfectly encapsulates our vision of bringing expert instruction to more athletes through user-friendly technology.”

The custom Workout integration requires Apple Watch Series 4 or later running WatchOS 10.2, paired with iPhone Xs or later, running iOS 17.2.

Founded in 1999, TrainingPeaks (trainingpeaks.com) changed how athletes and coaches approach endurance sports and has become a leading training and coaching platform. It provides comprehensive tools for workout planning, communication and data analysis.

The platform is used by professional cycling teams such as Ineos Grenadiers, EF Easypost and Ironman World Champions, and more than 30 national governing bodies around the world such as USA Triathlon, British Cycling and Triathlon Australia.

While the platform is a staple for elite athletes, it is also used by everyday active individuals, both on their own and with a coach. It is designed to help anyone reach their potential, whether that is finishing their first 10k, aiming for a podium finish at a local triathlon, or achieving personal health and fitness goals. The platform’s tools allow coaches to be more efficient and precise in their training prescriptions and help athletes stay motivated and on track.
