Where are my Workoutdescriptions which I made in Trainingpeaks

[Matthias Warmbold]

Hi,

I wonder a bit, that my descriptions of  workouts, which I made in Trainingpeaks are not displayed in GC.

I unziped the export and gzipped the FIT-FIle, It seems still be a binary file. So I couldn't prove if my workout description is exported (I searched in emacs for a word i wrote but I couldn't find it ) .

Is my Problem an Trainingpeaks export or an GC import Problem?

Thanks

Neither if you are using FIT files.

Which else format should I use instead? TrainingPeaks offers only that format in the menu settings - export - date-range

.. and the csv files which could be exported by the workout-summery
option couldn't be importeted because of an insuffizient impport :-(
That's the reason why i use only the option settings - export - choose
date-range-Workout Files and not summery

NFI, I have not used TP anymore since they closed the fence (https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-UPLOADING-AND-DOWNLOADING#Why-does-upload-to-TrainingPeaks-keep-failing), but the FIT format doesn't support textual descriptions or notes.

I mean: we still allow import in Training Peaks format (.pwx) including Notes, but I don’t know how/if you can still export your data in that format from TP, you need to look at their documentation or ask them, or perhaps other users may help.

[Matthias Warmbold]

Thanks for your answer, to ask some other users, I thought, this is the best way. Because I do not.know someone who uses GC

For my use case, there is  one athlete. that tracks his sessions with a Garmin or a igp-sports device.

And syncs all to TrainingPeaks anD adds some comments in TP there.

Then I look at that session with GC.

On the other side is a regional Coach who also looks to his sessions with a professional version of TP.

Actually, I must copy and paste all coments.

Do you have other suggestions to get the full personal notes in GC from that athlete?

Or a better way to sync?

Thanks,
Matthias

If that notes are included in summary CSV an alternative would be to create a Python Data Processor running on import which reads the CSV, gets the notes and adds them to Notes metadata field using setTag.

 

Or a better way to sync?

Regrettably not, we had a fully automated solution until TP removed the API we used, likely to fuel WKO+ licenses sales, you go that route if you need that kind of sync.
