More flexible summaries and graphs (Read 1240 times)

First of all, let me say thanks for providing a wonderful training log. It is easy to use and not overly complex with features I won't use. I was wondering if it would be possible to alther the summaries and graphs to be more useful for some of us who dabble in Tris. For example, it would be nice if the graphs would summarize hours by each sport...perhaps divide the column into four subsections: running, swimming, riding, and other hours. It would also be nice if the calendar subtotaled the different activities by time, instead of miles, or better yet, give the user the option of whether they want to display time or distance. Thanks again for a great site. Victor another CR refugee

Hi Eric, I'd like to add another vote for the graphing features. I actually bike as many hours as I run so I would like to graph my biking data. I'm another CR refugee, but you've made me feel very welcome. Thanks for all you've done for us!

I'd like to have user defined graphs that you could save and run later. That way you don't have to fill out the advanced graph form every time.

Another graphing suggestion (from a CR graphing junkie) is to have the histogram with horizontal bars. The coolrunning graphs were oriented this way and allowed for as much data as you could want all in very readable bars with the key data listed at the end of the bar. They simply extended down the screen as far as the data took it. I have several pdf files as excamples if that would be helpful. I like to print out my distance by week or month and juxtepose that with my pace graph for the same period. Thanks for all that you do!!!

Well, since you're looking at it, I'd also like options to see average weight or average pace over a week or a month. The sum doesn't make sense for some numbers... Thanks!

Just a note on the current graphing... for some reason, the "histogram" will sum things: times, weights, etc. Not very useful and throws your "scale" way out of whack. When graphing, I suggest using either the XY plot or XY graph in the "advanced graph" area.

I'd like to add my "yes, please" to this request. Having the key data listed at the end (i.e. pace, weight, etc.) was very helpful and told me at a glance whether my pace was improving or not. I've had trouble trying to figure out what data to choose for which axis and then once I figured it out, I had a hard time reading the graphs. For example, I liked being able to run a report that gave me my average pace on a weekly basis or my total mileage for a week. (Sorry, I'm an English major and math challenged! Nicole
