How it works
You can now upload and analyze your running activities on TrainerRoad. Simply connect your Strava or Garmin Connect accounts to TrainerRoad and the work is done automatically for you!
Run activities on your TrainerRoad calendar
All your running activities that you upload to Strava or Garmin Connect are now visible on your TrainerRoad calendar, including any runs you’ve completed in the past.
If you have a running activity scheduled on your calendar, it will automatically be associated with the running activity downloaded for that day, which is how it works for cycling activities in TrainerRoad.
Plus, you can now view your weekly mileage on your calendar.
Support for running analysis and power
You can also explore your rides and use some of our cycling analysis tools.
If your ride is live, we’ll automatically insert it and display it on your ride details page.
TrainerRoad plans with races
Races are available in the Basic, Build, and Specialty phases of our triathlon plans. To get started with a triathlon plan, use Plan Builder and add a triathlon as Event A.
Manually adding a scheduled run
If you don’t want to follow a triathlon plan but still want to add planned races to your calendar, you can do so by adding a planned running activity to your calendar.
To do this, go to your calendar, click on the “+” button, then choose “Other activities”.
From there, choose “Run” in the Event Type unfold.
Why run?
With today’s release, we are better supporting our multi-sport athletes, but are there many of them?
It might surprise you, but our athletes have uploaded over 40,000,000 runs and logged enough miles to run around the earth over 8,118 times!
Some interesting racing statistics:
- Total number of races: 40,980,200
- Total distance: 202,170,998 mi / 323/473,597 km
- Total hours: 31,343,083
- Average run: 4.93 mi (7.89 km)
You can see that our athletes are running enough that we can support it.
And if you are a cyclist who does two races per year in the off-season, your races will also be automatically downloaded! 😀
Congratulations to the team!
This has required a huge amount of work over the last 8-9 months to modify our internal database system to handle different types of activities. Our team worked really hard on this and I’m proud of their work!

Running FAQ
For more information on the technical details of using these new features currently running, see the FAQ below and head over to our Help Center article.
What data is displayed on the Execution Activity Details page?
Race details include pace, altitude, intervals, and a map when the race is completed outdoors. It will also include cadence, heart rate and power if your device records these measurements.
Can I switch between using kilometers and miles?
You can manage your unit preferences from the Account section of the website or apps.
Changing unit preference is a global setting and we currently do not have the ability to change units for executed activities only.
How is Run TSS measured in TrainerRoad?
Currently, Run TSS is just an RPE-based TSS estimate that athletes will need to enter manually after training. TSS based on heart rate or power is not in place at this time. However, TSS execution is something we are closely monitoring and actively discussing.
Are races included in adaptive training?
If you miss a race scheduled by your plan, Adaptive Training will adjust your upcoming races in response. However, Adaptive Training does not currently analyze your running performance as it does your cycling workouts and adaptations to your runs will not affect your scheduled cycling workouts.
Can I view my running PRs in TrainerRoad?
The current runtime feature set for TrainerRoad does not yet include PR, but we plan to add it in a future update.
From which platforms does TrainerRoad import execution activities?
TrainerRoad will import races from Strava and Garmin Connect.
Can I import indoor races into TrainerRoad?
Yes! Runs marked as completed indoors on the device you use to record running activities will automatically be imported into TrainerRoad and marked as indoor activities.
Why are some of my runs not associated with GPS files?
If you don’t see a GPS file next to your run, that means the run was marked as being done indoors on a treadmill.
