There are a handful of updates today, with the biggest being the introduction of summaries for weeks and months on the rides calendar.

By default, summaries for weeks and months are both shown, both of which consist of the total time, distance and training load. The training load sums use the same source as the training load chart, which by default is power based data (with heart rate based TRIMP scaled to equivalent values), but the source can be set manually in your profile settings.

Plans are also included in summaries when they are on today’s date or later. The training load chart has also changed to behave in the same way, so it now only includes training plans that are on the current date or later. The duration of plans is also used in summaries. It magically guesses the time to use based on what’s entered, and uses the average if a range is given, so the following are all 90 minutes: 90, ~90mins, 1.5, 1.5Hrs, 1:30, 1:30:00, 1h30, 1-2, and 1 to 2 hours (hover over the duration once the plan is saved to see how it is interpreted).

The background colour of the weekly summaries is based on the training load, where more intense weeks get a more intense colour. There’s a lot of empty space in the month summaries, but this will get filled up. Summaries also update immediately when new rides are uploaded or training plans are created, edited or deleted.

On the left, underneath the date navigation, there are one or two more things. The one that is always there is Options, which allows either of the types of summaries to be hidden, and whether or not months should be split (if a month finishes half way through a week, should it all be displayed in one row, or two?). The second, Unlinked plans, which is only available if it’s needed, shows a list of all training plans that are earlier than today that aren’t linked to rides, and allows them to be linked to rides, deleted, or set to be otherwise ignored. Now that old training plans aren’t shown on the training load chart, it isn’t useful for that, but it is still useful for getting data in order.

That’s all for today. More soon.
