I have been using a Google Drive spreadsheet to plan my races, big events etc. I have colour coded them so I can easily see A, B, C races and steady state races/events vs interval/fartlek type events. It would be nice to have this option with the TR calendar, as I am finding it not that easy to see events at a glance like my spreadsheet. I’d like to dump my spreadsheet, but for now, the spreadsheet is easier and faster to get a grasp of what’s coming up.
I hope that makes sense. I could see this being good to have a colour for say “sick” annotations too, so it would be easy to see days you were sick.
Ahh I guess I should have made an annotation first before mentioning that. To my defence, it was a last second addition to my post.
So yeah that colour option available to all additions, especially “other” activities.
PS I just made a red annotation, not what I had in mind. I was thinking the entire cell background filled with the selected colour. So for my own spreadsheet, I use the cell background colour as A, B and C event denoting and the text colour to denote steady state vs fartlek event. If that helps.
Here’s a snippet of my spreadsheet which probably explains it better @Nate_Pearson
maybe this only applies to triathlon , but id like to see some colorization of the workout types themselves so they stand out a little bit more. The little banner under the card where the workout icon looks perfect for this.
How about a different Colour for Training Plan Rides and then a diff col. for addition workouts, I’m following SSB1 & have added in some additional workouts - it would be good if I had an easy way to tell them apart.
I’ve just been playing with the calendar over lunch, I was thinking along the same lines as @Tommo (this forum is working well!). It would be really nice for different sports to be identified by different colours (along the lines of what Garmin does with Connect, I guess). The little icons for the triathlon disciplines are nice, but they’re not as obvious as different colours would be for a quick glance. A friend suggested that the shade of colour could even vary depending on TSS; starting with a very pale colour for a skipped workout.
I would love it too if in the future the TSS graph could be toggled between a the current graph showing a combined total, and another graph showing the three sports independently. I expect that might have to wait until much later, perhaps when the workout files for these activities are being imported.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! What I’m hearing is: It’s hard tell the difference of some things on the calendar; wether it be types, plans, races, etc.
Our designers have heard your feedback. We’re building a new “card” style which will hopefully make things more clear. Once that launches I’d like to give it a few weeks to “settle in” then get more feedback and improve it again…and again…until we nail it.
