I don't like it. I'm trying to add a run to my training calendar and it won't let me do it since it says I am not logged in. I am though. And I don't see the point of making the calendar smaller.
I do love the site though - great way to design/share routes and keep track of training. Thanks!
I liked the differences in color and shape of the icons before. There were easier to see and differentiate. I also have to agree that the calendar is too small. The summaries at the top where it records total miles / calories / weight "wrap" to the next line making it kind of jumbled.
I do like the direction you are taking the functionality or interactivity though. Keep it going!
Thanks!
auldal:Not updating with today's route, though it appears in my account details.
Same here. I did the post through "quick update".
My monthly miles/calories DID update, but no icon or details of teh ride were posted.
Follow up to a previous post...
After looking it it again, it has the distance that I rode today added to my total distance displayed on the calendar. Didnt realize that.
Since it didnt show the log entry for today, I re-entered it and that distance is added in and the total distance now reflects 2 log entries of the same workout HOWEVER it does not show that any workout has occured today on the calendar.
Clearly not ready....
Dont really care for ipod stuff like others have indicated.. Could be a pref settings to allow that for the user. Not everyone has a new iPod Touch/ iPhone. My iPod 20G photo does just fine for my rides.
Love the new icons in the Training Log Calendar... but had a very frustrating time this morning... I have mapped a long bike ride... twice !!!!.....and added it to the calendar... but both times it never showed up in that calendar. after i clicked saved.. the workout and mapping were logged and saved because they were forwarded to my twitter account... but stillthey don't show up in my workout list? or calendar???
Having the same issue other people are having - logged two new runs and they aren't showing up in my training log/calendar. The new routes are showing in my list of routes, though.
My calories burned were not being calculated.
And, after saving my route I clicked the link to view my training calendar, when I did, each time it told me I needed to log in to view the caledar, even though I was already logged in.
First off - Thanks for all of the great feedback! We appreciate all the input we can get.
To address some of the concerns brought up:
I can't say it enough - thanks again for the stellar comments, and thanks for the continued support of our site and community!
Cheers!
Brad
you appear to be addressing my only complaint about the activity icons being very similar.
I like the new look.
Great site, Thanks.
Hi Brad.
I am using firefox 3.0.8 currently from a fedora 10 linux box.
I was able to add a workout from "add" onto the calendar and saw the icons.
It was when I did "map new ride", and then it asked whether I also wanted to add it to
my calendar, that I had the problem. I did log out and back in to see if it made a difference.
I just tried clearing private data, and I still don't see the workout I added this morning.
Same issues as many others. Run not showing on Calender but montly total has changed.
Using Windows Vista/Internet Explorer 7
oh!
It has magically appeared now!
Hey Brad...
Well I logged in on a PC (Win XP w/ firefox) that I have NEVER logged into MMR before. The training calendar still does not populate the icon showing that I logged a workout today. Originally, I logged it on Mac w/ 10.4.11 OSX using Firefox.
I also checked it on a PC w/ Win 2000 that I have never logged into with and used Firefox & IE6. Again nogo.
The above three computers are at my place of work, so it is on the same network.
So I used a remote access login to login into a MAC at my house running 10.4.11 and logged onto MMR remotely. It STILL did not populate that calendar with an icon showing that I logged a workout today, but all that stats (i.e. calories, distance, etc. were still correct) just like before.
Kinda weird...
.. Checked it about 30 min ago... but now IT is working.
So I just deleted on extra ride. Working good now.
Additionally did a 30 miler after work & it logged it as it should. Great jobs guys.
My training log looks good now too (I'm using Opera on a mac). My goals mileage is still off, though. I should be at 91ish miles, but show 96ish miles.
The site looks good.
UPDATE: Thanks again for all the great feedback. There were 2 small, completely different, but somewhat related issues that were causing the problems. This should be fixed now for all the cases mentioned above, and you should be seeing any workouts that were record in the stats but not being displayed in the training log. So - any that have been experiencing these "phantom workout" issues, log out, clear your browser cache (as outline in my post above in #1), and login again and verify whether or not you are still having these issues.
The new front end is fine, but I wish you would work more on the screens to enter workout data. This is still the old, clunky design. Am I missing something here??? Try to get it to 1 screen instead of 3.
Also, since you're tinkering with the site, can you fix the Nike+ integration. Calories no longer come across and a default shoe would be nice (adding this to an imported Nike+ run takes 10, count 'em 10 mouse clicks).
1. click on run icon
2. click on edit this workout
3. click and select "what general type of workout was this?" - it's not pre- populated and you can't continue without it
4. click and select activity detail
5. click "auto calculate" button for calorie burn
6. click "to step 2" button
7. click and select my shoe
8. click "to step 3" button
9. click "submit" button
10. click "update" button
Two comments
1. Some more icons would be great - sounds like you are already working on this one. XCskiing, rock climbing may be ideas?
2. I still can' seem to link XC skiing to a route when i log a workout. However it is now April and I won't have to do this till next winter - hope I can by then.
Otherwise, great site - good work guys!

Yes, the part earlier where I said "Without getting into specifics, I am personally working on a set of
updates right now that I have a feeling a lot of you will be very
pleased to see."
Heya, I really like the new format, the icons are cool :o)
Waaay too busy. SImplify Simplify Simplify.
I always start with Calendar - it's too small. The side columns distract and provide irrelevant content; they could simply be navigation tabs.
Top header too big.
Fantastic site, well done guys.
Same as others, bigger calendar please :)
My problem is on your home page. Why in the world is the button for "Or login using Facebook" so much bigger and more prominent than the standard "Log In" button?
I use Facebook, but in 5 months at MMR I've never logged in from FB.
Still, the misplaced and oversized Facebook button dominates the log in and slows me down.
What gives?
I have to echo some previous comments... If you're going to change something make sure it is for the right reasons and that you actually 'make things better'...
The new icons are terrible.
The calendar is too small.
Please get rid of all the applications rubbish on the right hand side... we don't all have iPhones...
The generic 'figure with a ball' for any random sport is a bit of a pain. If you're going to design new icons let's see a wider range.
I use the running, cycling and swimming icons. And I think they are better than the previous. However, I would like my swimmer to swim in the same direction as my biker and runner are moving. i.e. left to right.
In general I like the new design!
Hi
The looks are good, but again i find that you have given to much space to your sponsor. I understand that there should come some money. But don't forget: your functionality is the basis on which we want to come to your site.
In the case of the calender give 75 or more pixels of the right collumn (the advertorial and the iphone stuff) to the calender so our workouts get more space.
If i had an iphone i already would know that you had those apps and used them (or not) So you can put them away. And if you make the avertorial a little longer the total surface of advertorial can be the same. So the sponer is happy after al. :)
Can you provide some more icons depending on the kind of activity? Now it looks more like soccer player ... or so.
The calendar is too small, the ads are too big, and too much space is devoted to the tech gadgetry. Keep the display simple for those of us who do, too, and allow people with all the toys to add those applications as preferences.
thanks.
Generally positive. Thanks.
However, and to reiterate some others comments, the activity icons are poor in my opinion. Appreciate that it is probably too much to ask for to have one for each specific activity ... but there must be a middle ground somwhere.
(ie. Don't like a footballer icon when I've been doing martial arts for example)
The calendar is too small! Please stop fiddling with the site, it was fine the way it was!
