Many Zwifters maintain their workout schedule through TrainingPeaks, but unfortunately last week’s Zwift update seems to have broken the automatic downloading of today’s TrainingPeaks workout into your Zwift workouts list.
I’m sure ZwiftHQ is working on a fix, since TrainingPeaks is a very popular platform among Zwifters. But until that fix arrives, here’s how you can manually get your day’s workout in TrainingPeaks to show up in Zwift:
The idea is simple enough: it’s easy to download your TrainingPeaks workout in ZWO format, which is the format Zwift uses for its workouts. Then you just need to move that file into your Workouts folder on your PC or Mac, which is located at Documents\Zwift\Workouts\<<Your Numeric Zwift ID>>
When you boot up Zwift, your workout will now be visible under “Custom Workouts”.
Additionally, Zwift will copy that custom workout to its cloud, so if you start up Zwift on another device like iOS, Apple TV, or Android, you will see the custom workout there.
A Note for iOS/Android/Apple TV Users
It’s not as easy to copy the TrainingPeaks workout directly to an iOS or Android device, but it can be done. It cannot be done on Apple TV, though.
The simplest way to get the workout onto these devices is to have Zwift installed on a PC or Mac, and follow the instructions above to downloading your TrainingPeaks workout into your workouts folder on the PC or Mac. Then boot up Zwift, let it sync to the cloud, and your workout will then be available across all devices.
