Build your own plan tool

Currently, I believe, that if you want to create your own training plan, you must enter it in day-by-day. While this does work, it's really tedious.

I've thought about this a little and here are some of my ideas for a "schedule builder".
First a template is built. This could be 1 day, two days, one week, etc. Within each day in this template a workout is defined. Also, you would specify how much (time/distance) this workout is increased as the template is repeated.

I haven't put too much thought into it, but I'd like to build a schedule in phases specifying a pattern, then using factors to add distance/mileage based on previous volume/mileage to build an entire phase repeating the pattern. You could setup one week or multiple weeks if you want to alternate Monday's run workout between an easy run and a Fartlek. For example you could define one week as:

	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thur	Fri	Sat	Sun
Swim Increase	Drills-45 0%		Easy-60 5%	Intervals-30 0%
Bike Increase		Hard-45 2%		Easy-90 8%			Hills-60 0%
Run Increase	Easy-45 5%		Easy-60 5%			Tempo-30 0%

Then you could specify how many times to repeat this template. In the simple form, this could be used to as a simple distance builder plan. If take to the extreme, it could be used to build a schedule similar to how it is done in the Triathlete's Training Bible.

You could also have a choice to build in recovery weeks every X weeks, and adding a taper at the end.

I realize this would be a huge amount of work, but I'm throwing it out there anyway.
