How This Works
Understanding the rhythm of this service will help you use it well. Every four weeks follows the same cycle.
Block Start
Your four-week training block has been loaded into TrainingPeaks. Review it - look at the key sessions, long sessions, and overall load arc. If something needs context, this is the right time to reach out.
Execute & Log
Execute the plan. Log everything. Your assigned Coach is monitoring the data but is not checking in proactively. If a question comes up or you want feedback on a session, reach out. You have five feedback requests per block - use them on what matters most.
Block Transition
Your assigned Coach reviews your block-level data - execution trends, test results, overall load response - and builds the next block. You don't need to trigger this. It happens on the cycle.
The analogy that fits: Think of your assigned Coach like a skilled architect. They design the building carefully, with your needs in mind. Once built, you live in it. If something isn't working, you reach out to them. They're not stopping by weekly to check - but when you reach out, they respond.
Your Job as the Athlete
This service rewards self-directed athletes. Here's what doing your part looks like.
Log Every Workout
Your assigned Coach builds the next block based on what the data shows. If workouts aren't logged accurately, they're flying blind at block transition. Complete execution data is your most important contribution.
Use TrainingPeaks Notes
Numbers tell part of the story. If a session was cut short due to work, illness, heat, or poor sleep - note it. One sentence in the workout comments is enough. Context matters at block review.
Prioritize Your 5 Feedback Requests
Use them on sessions where feedback will actually change something - field tests, key workouts, sessions where you're unsure about execution. Don't spend them on easy aerobic days.
Complete Your CP/CS Field Tests
Your zones are only as accurate as your most recent test data. If you skip tests, your training zones drift and the plan loses precision. Field tests are not optional - they're how the system stays calibrated.
Reach Out When It Warrants It
This isn't set-it-and-forget-it. If a week goes significantly off the rails, or a life change affects your training availability, reach out. You don't need to solve everything yourself - you just initiate.
How to Reach Your Assigned Coach
Primary channel: TrainingPeaks workout comments and messages. This is where your assigned Coach lives. Leaving notes on individual workouts or sending a message through the platform keeps all communication tied to relevant training context.
- Requesting feedback on a specific workout (counts toward your 5/block)
- Flagging a significant disruption to your training week
- Asking a question about a scheduled session or field test
- Sharing context your assigned Coach should know heading into the next block
- Your assigned Coach will not initiate regular check-ins
- Feedback is provided upon request, not automatically
- Communication volume in this tier is intentionally low - that's not neglect, that's the service
TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks is the operating system for your training. Everything runs through it. Make sure the following are in place at the start of your service.
Coach Access Connected
Your account is connected and your assigned Coach has full access to your calendar and data.
Device Auto-Sync Active
Your GPS watch, power meter, and heart rate monitor sync automatically so workouts post the same day they're completed.
Zones Accurately Entered
Your training zones match your most recent CP/CS test results. If you're unsure, ask your assigned Coach at the start.
Athlete Profile Up to Date
Sport, volume environment, and race schedule are accurate. This is what your assigned Coach uses to build your blocks.
What Good Looks Like
A Base+ Coach Support athlete who is getting the most out of this service looks like this.
TrainingPeaks calendar is clean and current - every workout logged, most with brief notes on execution.
Executes four-week blocks with high consistency, flagging disruptions clearly when they occur.
Uses the five feedback requests on high-value sessions - field tests, key workouts, anything worth understanding better.
Reaches out when something warrants it, and trusts the plan when it doesn't.
Arrives at block transitions with good data - and their assigned Coach has real information to build the next phase from.
Over time: zones stay accurate, fitness trends upward, and the system compounds.
The athlete who gets the least out of this service trains in silence - doesn't log, doesn't note, doesn't reach out - and then wonders why nothing seems to be changing. The system needs data to work. Give it data.
When This Service Might Not Be the Right Fit
Base+ Coach Support is the right service for a specific kind of athlete. If your experience diverges from what's described in this guide, it's worth naming it directly.
- You want regular feedback beyond the 5-workout cap
- Your schedule is unpredictable and four-week blocks frequently need adjustment
- You're still developing training literacy and need interpretive support throughout the block
- You want a more active coaching relationship - regular communication, ongoing guidance
- You're executing blocks with high consistency and minimal friction
- You reach out occasionally but don't feel like you need more
- The plan makes sense to you and you can self-interpret most of what you see
Moving up a tier is not a failure - it's a recognition that your needs have evolved. If it comes up, bring it to your assigned Coach. They'll be direct with you about what makes sense.
