SEASONS AND EVENTS

Why are there different types of seasons?

This is to help with planning functions. As of v3 there is no real distinction made. Adhoc seasons are expected to be used solely as date ranges and have no associated plan. Whilst other season types may contain plans. This is only relevant for planning functions that are not available yet.

What is event used for?

It is only used to annotate a LTM chart -- so you can show an 'event' that happened at a particular date. There are no rules about what constitutes and event. It could be a race, a training camp or just a day that was particularly meaningful e.g. illness, crash. If you have a calendar service configured, new events will be uploaded to it.

How do create/edit/delete seasons and events?

Seasons and Events are created and edited in the sidebar for the Home view. Seasons are listed under date ranges, whilst events are listed under the events sidebar item. In both cases they can be created and deleted from the sidebar item's drop down menu.

Please note that events can only be created when a user season is selected, since events are associated with a particular season.

How can I plan my training and forecast my performance for an event?

From v3.5 you can create activities in future dates (manual or imported), and Trends charts s.t. PMC and Banister will extend to the future selecting an appropriate date range enabling planning forecasting. If you want to view your activities, planned or executed, in the calendar chart available in v3.5 Diary View deprecated in v3.6 you can import this Calendar Chart to v3.6 Trends View.
