Custom Training Plan Templates (Feature Request #1)

Sure, saving a custom plan as a template would go along with increased customization, but I think youre also referring to the ability to ‘publish’ customized plans as templates, for other athletes to apply?

If so: I’ve passed that along to the team as well. There would definitely be a lot of moving parts to be able to publish and share templates that others can then also modify, but nonetheless, I’ve communicated this to the team for consideration!

Publishing / sharing would be a great feature. But I wouldn’t want someone else to be able to modify my copy of the template / plan. Similar to how I cannot modify a TR plan - I can only “subscribe” to a TR plan. Crowd sourced / create plans should work like TR plans:

  • Someone creates a plan that includes an overview / introduction, similar to what TR plans have today, and a phase (e.g., Base, Build, Specialty)
  • The person publishes the plan / makes it public, and it would show up in a new training plan area - “Public Plans”. So there would be 3 training plan areas at a high-level: TR Plans; My Plans (ones I’ve created); Public Plans (plans other members have created)
  • I could add a Public Plan to my calendar, and if I wanted to tweak it, I would tweak it on my calendar and then save it as a new plan. This would be the same as how Workout Creator works: I can modify a TR workout, but when I save it, I’m creating a new workout, not modifying the TR workout for everyone

This is laid out well. :+1:If TR wants to keep the plans from getting “diluted” by having the public plans as an option (you’d probably need a rating setup and whatnot to help weed out the good from the bad which could get complicated), just having the ability to save your own plans/tweaked TR plans and have the My Plans + TR Plans setup would be a big step up on its own.

Got it! This makes sense, definitely a lot of moving parts from an organizational standpoint :confounded: but I’ve added this to the original request as well. Thanks for expanding upon that!
