Peaks: your automatic personal records

Peaks are your personal records, found for you. Every time a workout syncs, TrainerPlan looks for your best power, heart rate and pace over set durations and ranks them against all your previous workouts. You don't have to enter anything: new records show up on their own. Peaks are included in Premium.

What counts as a peak

A peak is your best average over one of these durations inside a workout: 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. TrainerPlan tracks three metrics:

• Power, in watts, when the workout has power data.
• Heart rate, in beats per minute.
• Speed or pace, for activities with speed data.

When a workout makes your top 3, it gets a medal:

• PR: your best ever. Hover over it to see your previous best.
• #2 or #3: your second or third best ever.
• A rank with a year, such as #1 · 2026: one of your top 3 for that year, but not of all time.

See the peaks of a workout

On the web:

1. Open a completed workout from your calendar.
2. Click the Peaks tab.
3. You see each duration where this workout made your top 3, with the value and its medal. If it didn't set any, you see "No top-3 peaks in this workout."

In the mobile app, open the workout and tap Peaks.

On your calendar, workouts that set peaks show a medal icon with the number of peaks, so record days stand out at a glance.

Follow your peaks over time

On the web, add peak charts to your dashboard:

1. Click Dashboard in the top menu, then click Charts.
2. In the Chart library, pick Peak Performances Chart to see how your best value for one duration changes over time, or Peak Performances Table to see your best efforts ranked, with the workout and date of each one.
3. Click Chart settings (the sliders icon) on the chart to choose the Activity, the Metric (Speed / Pace, Power or Heart rate), the Duration and the Period: this year, the two previous years, All time or Last 90 days.
4. In the table, click a row to open that workout.

In the mobile app, open the Analysis tab, tap the + button and choose Peak performances under Records. Open the chart to change the Metric, Duration and Scope.

New record notifications

When a workout from the last 7 days sets a new all-time best, you get a notification: "You set new personal records from your workout". If you have a coach, they are notified too. To stop these notifications, go to My Profile > Notifications and turn off When a new personal record (PR) is set.

If you have Basic

On Basic, clicking the Peaks tab of a workout opens the Premium window instead; click Upgrade Now to see the plans. The peak charts on your dashboard are locked and show an Upgrade Plan button. In the app, the Peaks tab and the Peak performances chart show an upgrade message.

To upgrade on the web, go to My Profile > Plans. In the app, go to Settings and tap Plans. Your coach can also pay for your Premium.

Good to know

• Peaks need data from a device. Workouts you log by hand, with no file or stream, have no peaks.
• Peaks only compare you with yourself. Each activity is ranked separately, so a bike peak never competes with a run.
• Peaks are not the same as Best marks. Best marks are results you type in yourself, such as your 10K race time, in My Profile > Best marks. See Best Marks: your personal records in one place.
• Peaks depend on accurate data. A heart-rate spike from a loose strap can show up as a heart-rate peak.
• For your best power, heart rate or pace for every duration, not just the eight above, use the power, heart-rate and speed curves. See Power curve and time in zones.
