Last week we had another successful release with some upgrades to the Active Trainer Log. Highlights of some key new features are below. There are two more releases planned for the summer, with the most comprehensive coming in August. Give us your feedback at training@active.com .

The Highlights!

Pace Calculator: We have added a Pace Calculator to the Tools menu. It has the same easy to use functionality as the calculator found on Active.com.

And speaking of pace... one gripe has always been that logging duration and distance for a workout didn't automatically calculate the pace. This has also been addressed with the latest release. Now, if you enter a total time and distance for a run, for example, the system will automatically calculate your pace. No more fuzzy math required.

Customize Purchased Training Plans: You now have the ability to edit and delete workouts from a purchased training plan. Just be careful before you delete a workout, because once it's gone... it's gone.

Calculate HR Load: Tracking your workouts based on HR is one of the most reliable ways to avoid over-training. Now, when you log you minutes per zone for any workout, the system will automatically calculate your workout load. The higher your fitness level, the higher your load should be. All training plans from new Heart Zones coach Cindy Miler use the HR Load calculations! Try one today.

What to look for in the coming releases?

There are some exciting things planned for the rest of the summer, including the unveiling of the first version of Active Trainer PLUS. More to come on that in the coming weeks!
