Plan the training - calender import from csv

[Bigjuergo]

which calender that can be importet in intervals.icu is best for planing the training for one season
only future trainings should be effected so no existing workout is overwritten

1. csv data from xls (if yes in which format)?
   simple template would be nice
   i can create one when i know which format
   i have already developed a xls based planning tool
   @david maybe we can use my template for upload to the calender

2. gramin?

3. training peaks?

4. any other suggestions

when i import a calender is the existing value in the future overwritten (would be helpful in case of changes)

thx!

Intervals.icu doesn’t support importing training plans from CSV (yet). Does your spreadsheet specify structured workouts or something simpler?

If you can expose your plan in iCal format then you could use Options → Add Calendar to add it. Intervals.icu will parse the workout descriptions so you can use that to pull in structured workouts.

With some coding you could use the Intervals.icu API to upload your plan from Excel.

API access to Intervals.icu

Intervals.icu now has a public API for other applications. To use it you need to generate an API key in /settings (look for “Developer Settings” near the bottom). Your API key allows other applications to access your Intervals.icu data. Be careful what you do with it! If you suspect that your key may have been compromised immediately clear or re-generate it. The API uses basic authentication. The username is “API_KEY” and the password your API key. Example using curl: $ curl -u API_KEY:1l0nlqj…

some years ago i programmed the andre coggans formulas into xls
in the picture you see an ironman plan for sub10 hours.
i refer in every line to the actual threshold power or hr (yellow numbers).

this sheet i used for planning the season.

i think we both use the same stress model.

i have implemented swim, bike, run and basic hr stress and workout stress for strength training. i also added recovery exercises (yoga, stretching) that gives TSB some positive values.

how can i use your api?

if you have a trainingsplan in *.cvs you can upload it to your calender.
previously you can adjust parameters to see if it makes sense to follow your idea of workouts.

@david can you support me in bringing the *.csv filie in a format that can be uploaded easily to intervalls.icu calender?

e.g you add an import *.csv button in the calender and tell me which format the *.csv must have so that it is uploaded in the calender.

column:
date, tss points, sporttype → would be enough for planning

Why not use the API?

Manual Entry via API

Hi, is there a way to do manual entries via the API? I managed to add events (notes, races, …) and the documentation sounds like you can add workouts (planned I think) - haven’t tried that yet. But I can’t find a way to add manual entries in the past. I’d like to keep track of my commutes - which are not tracked on a regular basis (so they won’t sync here automatically) but I know the exact time, duration, distance and even ballpark load - that would be great for getting a more complete pic…
