The latest TrainingPeaks Virtual update, v0.4.7, released December 17th, 2024, lets users import third-party workouts into Training Peaks.
Editor’s note: Since early June 2023, we’ve highlighted the rapid evolution of indieVelo with weekly update posts. Not everyone receives the emails or is a member of the various social media groups, and the more searchable mentions available, the better to promote the indieVelo, err, Training Peaks Virtual vision. The name is different, and the once-a-week cadence might change, but the commitment to promoting the platform hasn’t wavered.
A Note From the George Gilbert, TrainingPeaks Virtual Founder: |
You can now import third-party power-based cycling workouts directly into TrainingPeaks, making it simple to complete your workouts on TrainingPeaks Virtual, no matter where you import them from.
In Episode 58 of the Virtual Velo Podcast, Chris and Emma welcome Dirk Friel, co-founder and Chief Evangelist of Training Peaks, and Dr. George Gilbert, the creator of indieVelo, to discuss their newly formed partnership and the launch of Training Peaks Virtual.
With the recent updates to automatically synchronize your FTP, Training Zones and other key metrics, we’re constantly innovating and making it faster and easier for you to train and race online.
In parallel, we are also growing and expanding the TrainingPeaks Virtual team – if you’re a Senior Software Engineer, Senior Game Designer, or have other relevant skills that you can bring to the party, please check out https://peaksware.com/careers.

His passion for cycling shines through in his writing, which has been featured in prominent publications like Cycling Weekly, Cycling News, road.cc, Zwift Insider, Endurance.biz, and Bicycling. In 2024, he was on-site in Abu Dhabi, covering the first live, in-person UCI Cycling Esports World Championship.
