Welcome!
I hope you are all well and keen to set and meet your new targets for the year ahead.
Best wishes to all..
Happy New Year.
APOLOGIES!
- it's all my fault
V1.1 has display problems with NOV and DEC charts.
MY STATS page works fine.
What to do:
1. NOTHING - other than filling in your swim data as usual - if you don't mind not using the Nov/Dec charts. MY STATS will still work.
2. Download V2.1 if you want to neaten everything up.
To do this you will need to copy and paste each month's data across from your old v1.1 to the new v2.1.
Use a desktop computer to open them side by side and slowly copy all the data across.
Choose a wet cold windy day, at least that's what I did.
Sorry!
M&M 2024
What to do next:
1. To avoid disappointment read and use the 'Hints for New Users' -see below
2. Click on the link above to download and SAVE the new M&M onto your desktop computer, then OPEN the file into Excel.
3. Enter your target distance - click on your choice of units
4. Optional: enter your choice of venue (or swim location) codes - you have total freedom of choice here and can change your mind later too!
5. Do your swims - enter distances - Optional: enter venue code and estimated minutes swimming/getting wet!
6. Check the My Stats page for analyses - see how close to the target swim line __ you are.
7. Optional: Enter your previous years swim totals (on the JAN page) - and see where your new this year's forecast is taking you :)
8. these 2 images show:-
(above) my previous years (2018 not completed)
(right) how they display on the 2019 MyStats page
NB - this will change once the new year gets started
with the 2018 data included!!
Hints for new users:
(someone not sure how to open an EXCEL file on their device)
STEP 1:PC or MAC with MS Excel (2007 or later)
1. download the file above onto your desktop PC or MAC and SAVE AS with a new file name
(e.g. "Dave's swims 2019"; "Anita's rows 2019"; "Pedro's cycles 2019"
2. set a target for the year on the 'My Stats' page, revisiting it several times in the first month or so if you are not sure the level to set it at first time. entering 'venue codes' are optional
3. start entering each training distance ('venue codes' and 'times' are optional ) for each day of the month and then check on your progress on the 'My Stats' page
*Experienced users will probably want a copy to be saved in the cloud to access from anywhere, on any device - see my solution below if you haven't done this sort of thing before
Hints for not so new users - using mobile devices:
STEP 2: Using iPad & iPhone (NOT to be done before step 1)
Ipads and iPhones CANNOT import these, highly formatted, Excel files directly
without messing them up completely!!!!! - try it and see !
You will need to use Excel for iPad or Excel for iPhone
My Workaround Method - there are other ways and other clouds to do this!
NB
Remember to Google every time you get stuck with anything
- there's loads of help out there
FYI
(there are many other ways of doing this I believe):
