Hi,

I'm new to BT and am in the process of getting the workout log all setup. One quick question that I couldn't find an answer to while searching the forums:

-is there a way to send myself a daily email with a summary of my planned workout for that day? This seems to be a pretty standard feature with most online training sites, but for some reason I can't seem to find it here!

Thanks for the help!

John

We don't have that function yet but it's definitely on the To-Do list.

Demand for this hasn't seemed particularly high compared to some other features so it hasn't been prioritized highly. Anyone else have any input on this?

I'd find it helpful because -- I don't typically login to my training blog until I have a workout finished and ready to log, but I do typically check e-mail before heading out to the pool, road, or gym in the mornings.    

Having an e-mail go out at 9pm for tomorrow's workout or 3am for today's workout would be a great addition to my training.

Cheers, -Sunny

This is definetly a feature I would use and use alot, and would definetly appreciate, though I feel multiple workouts/day would be far more important for me (2 runs in a day).

I'd find that helpful.

I'm using one of Mike's plans.  Right now, I jot down the swim session the night before.  It would be helpful to just print out an email instead. 

Maybe I can easily print it out now and I'm just missing the feature?  I guess, I could just cut and past into some text program and print it out.  Hmm... hadn't thought of that...

OK, never mind...

Thanks for the background. My thinking was along the lines of some of the others who have replied already. I have a blackberry from work, and it'd be great to review my workout on there in the morning before turning on my computer and logging into BT, which I'd do after the workout. Those are my thoughts, though - there may definitely be other enhancements that would be better appreciated by more people out there.

x2 (or 3 or whatever )

I have access to my Blackberry, and therefore email, all the time.  I usually remember to check what my workout is supposed to be before I leave the computer, but sometimes I don't.... and then I just make things up, depending on how much I remember.  For example, "Swim 10x200m" becomes "Burrito and margarita with friends".  See how that works?

Seriously - I'd love a daily email reminder.

Great feature if it's toggle-able.  I use it on trainingpeaks.com when I'm travling since my  Treo gets e-mail much easier than it does internet.  So when I'm on travel, I like to get the e-mails with my workouts so I don't miss anything!

Of course, if I wasn't so lazy, I'd just print it before I leave...but that never seems to work out for me.

We just snuck it in, you all can help test this.  Just go to your training control panel to toggle it;

Due to the nature of it, I can only test once a day!

I actually got 3 emails this morning... one right around 3am, and then two more about 10 minutes apart, right before 7am CST.  All looks good, though!

Is it possible to add another email address for the email to be sent to?  Or, be able to enter an email for it to be sent to that isn't the same as the account that I have associated with my BT membership?  For example, for anything personal that I sign up for, I always use my AOL account... so that's what BT has.  But for this specific purpose, I would like the email sent to my work account since I get those on my Blackberry.  Not a big thing by any stretch... just wondering...

(I know, I know.... we ask, you give, and then here I go asking for MORE... you'd think we're never satisfied...   have I mentioned lately how awesome you guys are???)

We have added an alternate email area next to the workout email toggle.  See if it works.

ALSO, has the emails been working?  Everything should have been good this week.

Let me know if any format issues, etc.

I'm using an alternate email address and it works GREAT. 

This doesn't seem adequate, but....

THANKS!!!!!
