What is a Pre-Built Training Plan?
- Pre-Built Training Plans are Training Plans that are delivered to you through your TrainingPeaks online account, and provide you the information of exactly what workouts to do and when to do them. The Pre-Built Training Plans are each separate purchases from the online account subscription.
- You can browse all of our pre-built training plans here: http://www.trainingpeaks.com/trainingplans.asp
- It is important to note that the ATP Wizard and the Pre-Built Training Plans are two separate planning tools that are not intended to be used at the same time. The ATP Wizard is a tool that is found within all Paid Subscription accounts, and the Pre-Built Training Plans are purchased separately from Paid Subscriptions. For more information on the differences between Pre-Built Training Plans and the ATP Wizard, go to:

How can the Start Date of a Pre-Built Training Plan be changed?
If you want to change the Start Date of your Pre-Built Training Plan, you'll want to login to your account and go to the Training drop-down menu, then click on the Pre-Built Training Plans page. From this page you can see all of the training plans you've purchased and their respective date range. You may use the "Shift" feature to shift your plan forward or back a few days (please note that this may move long workouts, that were originally planned for the weekends, to weekdays), or you may use the "Change Start Date" feature to move your plan by a week or more.

Trouble shooting and FAQ's for Pre-Built Training Plans
- Which Pre-Built Training Plans are able to be loaded directly into a Garmin 305?
- As of April 16th, 2008, some Pre-Built Training Plans sold by TrainingPeaks will be able to be loaded into the Garmin 301, the 305's, and the 405. For instructions on how to load the Garmin compatible Pre-Built Training Plan into your device, see:
Garmin compatible training plan import
- Unfortunately we do not have any Pre-Built Training Plans that can be loaded into the actual Garmin 305 devices (just the 301). We are currently not planning on providing Training Plans that can be directly loaded into the Forerunner 305, as some of the technology changes that Garmin made between the 301 and the 305 series changed the way Pre-Built Training Plans are loaded into the actual device. Plus, all the Plans we have right now can still be followed by any user with any device (just not loaded into the device itself).
- Can a Pre-Built Training Plan be used more than once?
- The Pre-Built Training Plans are designed for one time use. Although you can change the Start Date in the Training Plan Manager in the Pre-Built Training Plans section of the Training drop-down menu, all the Daily Log Entries for the time period you have previously used that Pre-Built Training Plan for are now tied into that Training Plan. Thus, if you move that Plan to a new time frame, you will also move all your Journal entries with it; then, when you go to log new workouts for the new date range, you would first have to delete all the past data for that workout on the Pre-Built Training Plan from the first time you used it. As a result of this, it is highly recommended that you purchase a fresh Pre-Built Training Plan each time you wish to start a new one.
