Subject: Entering multiple runs/bikes/swims in a day?

Ron,

Thanks for this AWESOME site! I've been here everyday since I found it in August. Already, the progress and features added since then have been amazing.

I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, but I looked and didn't see it. There are a lot of days that I do a couple of runs. Sometimes, I'll jog to work, and then do a track workout in the evening with my track club. Currently, I just add it all up and throw it in the run section as one entry. But it sure would be nice if there was a way to break those out into multiple entries for the same day - especially as the jog and the track workout are going to have very different heart rates/ paces etc... I imagine there are folks who do more than one swim/bike as well. Is there a way to do this already that I'm missing? Or, could it be added to the "wish list"?

Thanks again!

this has come up, although it has been awhile...but until we find an easy way to do this (since a lot of pages would need modified and would be costly), i think the conscensus was to just put something in the comments area for that.

a simpler way would be to 'tag' workouts as 'recovery', 'lt', 'intervals', 'bike/run' and in your case bike/bike or run/run workouts. i have been tossing around the idea of 'defining' a workout by type.

maybe mike m and others can chime in on ideas...

I've been thinking about this too, for races as well as workouts. I've done a Formula One duathlon which was Run-Bike-Run-Bike-Run. I had to combine some legs to do a race report.

The only thing I've thought of that minimizes page redesigns, and doesn't clutter up the screen is an Add Workout button under the Comments and Heart Rate areas for each sport. A window would pop-up that contains the time/distance/Equipment etc.. text boxes and after it's submitted something would be drawn to the screen to indicate an additional workout was present.

The blog page would probably have to show each workout,
The calendar, week and month views would also.

Not being familiar with the code, I'm not sure how extensive the rewrite would be. Probably not insignificant. This sort of thing is rarely as simple as "just add one more".

I would just add tab above the Swim/Bike/Run blocks on the block page that indicate Ex. 1, Ex.2, etc. You would click on the Ex 2 tab above the run to enter a second run on the same date. Except for the Ex #, the run block would look the same. You would not have to redesign the whole page.
