Plan Creation: Allow uploading course profile (elevation profile, GPX, net elevation gain/loss) when creating plan

When the system is generating predictions, it appears to not know about the course. Though some ‘templates’ exist for ‘hilly’ IM, these templates don’t apply when creating custom events like duathlons or single-sport only events while using a multi-sport profile.

I would like to be able to (in order of preference?)

  • Select a previous years event to use as a base for this year from a list of ‘races’, activities I marked as races, in AI Endurance.
  • Upload a GPX file. Either one I have from a past years event, one I download from GarminConnect’s ‘public course’ list, or created myself.
  • A net gain/loss description (checkbox such as ‘net-negative’ or ‘hilly’ or ‘uphill finish’), or ‘total gain’ or ‘total descent’ boxes to fill in

I can imagine some events might have a gain/loss image with the elevation profile but without a GPX file, such as Paris→Ancaster. eg:

CentoElevation

If GPX is used, it would be nice if it could take seasonal weather (temperature, humidity, etc.) into account when generating the plan.

Same approach for me, linked to A target especially. Preparing Nice Ironman or Embrun is not the same target : temperature, humidity, elevation.

Another points could be:

  • to implement food and water recommandation during trainings,
  • to implement elevation or kind of trace recommanded for trainings,
  • etc

you can use the chat for that, it’s even a recommended chat

you could add that to System Plan Prompt
