Can you adjust the structure of the recommended workouts based on your local terrain or are you simply forced to eliminate certain recommended workouts on TR? It looks like TP may provide more customization of the training plan based on local terrain (assuming you're comfortable building your own plan).
I remember reading that when you switch a workout to outside it is adjusted in some way to make it better workable with outside, but I don't know how exactly. In the end the workouts are just telling you what power to ride for how long. If you don't put in any goals related to climbing hills you will probably also not get any hill climbing in your schedule.
