Getting started
How to sign up for Training Endurance, go through the first steps and set your zones, then connect your watch and your coach.
To start, sign up, answer a few questions about yourself and set your zones: time in zones and the calories of your workouts are counted from them. Then connect your watch and, if you have one, your coach.
1. Sign up
Open app.trainingendurance.com or the iPhone or Android app and click Don’t have an account?. Signing up asks for your email, first name and last name, and instead of a password you can get a one-time code by email. Or sign in right away with Google or Apple — with the Continue with Google and Continue with Apple buttons.
After you sign up, a code comes to your email — enter it to confirm the address. If it hasn't arrived, check the address spelling and your spam folder.
If there are no Google and Apple buttons, see The app on iPhone, Android and in the browser.
2. Go through the first steps
First, the app asks for your language and the setup mode:
- Simple — just the essentials: profile, body parameters and training zones. 4 steps.
- Advanced — every step, including gadgets, your goal, training time and a comment for your coach. 8 steps. This mode is selected by default.
Anything you skip now can always be filled in later in Settings.
On the Physiological Parameters step, height, weight and body fat percentage are required.
3. Set your zones
The Zone Calculator step can't be skipped. Enter:
- Primary sport — training zones and a metabolic profile will be created for it. You can add more sports later.
- VO2max (ml/kg/min) — from 20 to 95. If you don't know it, click Don't know? Calculate: VO2max is calculated from a running or cycling test result.
- Max Heart Rate (bpm) — from 120 to 220. If you don't know it, 220 minus your age will do for a start.
Your zones are calculated from these values: heart rate zones as percentages of your maximum heart rate, speed and power zones from VO2max, and lactate zones from a common template. You can adjust them on the next step, Metabolic Profile. How to refine your zones later: Where zones come from and how to refine them.
The Submit button on the last step opens the Calendar.
4. Connect your watch
Watches and services connect on the Gadgets step in the advanced mode, or later: Settings → Settings tab → Account connect. Completed workouts come in by themselves, and planned ones go to your watch. More in Which watches and services you can connect and How a workout gets to your watch.
5. Connect your coach
If you have a coach, open their invitation link or enter their eight-character code: Settings → Coach tab → Connect a coach by code. If you opened the link before signing in, the invitation is kept, and the coach is connected as soon as you are in. More in How to connect with a coach.
Without a PRO subscription, you get workouts from your coach, while your own workouts, the library and plans open with PRO — see What PRO gives you and how to cancel your subscription.
For coaches
A coach signs up the same way as an athlete. The coach role comes with a coach subscription: once you have it, a Switch to Coach button appears on the My account tab in Settings. How to invite athletes: How to connect with a coach.
