This seemed an appropriate place to share that I have made some updates to the above discussed Google Sheets doc that leverages the Intervals.icu API.

This is the Direct Link to take a copy from if you want to use it: [Next Activity\_icu v1.1 (shared) - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cffmQ20Y4LPUQ-XrAulr-m0GD_LUBQj39ue3YWTNZ3Q/edit?usp=sharing)

And it is kept in this shared Google Drive folder, where I will put any further updates: [Next Activity\_icu – Google&nbsp;Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/111ji2LYKzKAPIPHKXvpdpxrLlE_f-vNI?usp=sharing)

What’s new?

- I have added a FAQ (or readme) tab which I think addresses most of the ambiguity encountered by those who have tried out the original version.
- I have added a Dashboard tab which shows your last activity, current training status, and how long you may want to rest for if you have been training hard / just done a big event.
- Next Activity tab has been tidied up a bit, and presents your Next Activity (suggested) in a format that can be copy-pasted directly into the intervals.icu workout builder.

Below is a screenshot of how the Dashboard looks for me, with my intervals.icu data already pulled through the API.
