It would be wicked cool if there was some sort of "design your own" or "upload" training plan and then have it integrated with the training log (maybe some sort of rabbit) to track progress.

2012 Goals:

1. 1100+ miles.

2. Streak starting in March or April if I'm healed.

3. 100 Push up challenge to get some upper body strength back.

4. Get weight under 180 by the end of the summer.

5. 1 or fewer alcoholic drinks 4+ nights per week every week.

6. Concentrate on 5K distance and September HM.

7. Have fun!

2011 Goals: Olympic Tri - 2h05min (2h09min), 5k: 17:30 (17:34) 10k: 37:00 (did not attempt), 21km: 1:21:00 (1:21:32), 42.2: 2:59:59 (2:59:24)

This is a great idea. I would love to be able to create my training schedule and add it to a calendar. I would also love to be able to upload the schedule to my Garmin Forerunner. I don't use this site exclusively. However, if a training schedule integration was added, I would use this site exclusively.

It would be great to put my training schedule into the calendar on this site.

Instead of junking up my kitchen calendar with upcoming/ potential races and training plans

Any suggestions?

Some folks put in workout entries with future dates to build a 'plan calendar'. The workout entry doesn't prevent you from adding a future event.

A downside (to me) is that these future, planned entries don't display differently in the calendar than a workout you've done.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

I agree that it would be useful to have a training plan in the training log.

2011 goals:

1000 miles running

Finish a HM (my 2nd)

Finish a Sprint Duathalon (first in 25 years)

In addition to the future dates, you can also create a workout type called "planned" and give it a different color. That way it'll stick out on the graph if you forget to change it or do the workout...

Doesn't completely cover your request but you do know you can add future 'events' to your calendar? It's one of the options in the dropdown box when you hover over 'New Run Entry'.

As an example here's my calendar view for this month.

I'll be running Boston but won't be running the two 5K's but, since they are important races in our local USATF series, I want to know when they are.
