Feature Request: Parametric Workouts

I would love to be able to define parametric workouts on the calendar. For example, if there were a parametric workout called "Easy(d)" defined as running a certain distance (d) at a fixed average pace, I would copy it into the calendar and customize it for each easy day through the variables d and p instead of creating separate workouts for Easy 8k, Easy 11k or Easy 9km. I would have Easy(8), Easy(11) or Easy(9) on my calendar. This idea can be extended into more complex workouts. For a workout like 15' warm-up + 4 x 1600 + 6 x 100 + 10' cd, it would be nice to define the number if repeats for 1600 and 100 m sections as two different variables, say m and n, so that the template would be:

Interval(m,n) = 15' warm-up + m x 1600 + n x 100 + 10' cool-down

and I would call this workout with different parameters for different days: Interval(4,6)

Would it be too much of an effort to add this feature into GC?
  • This would be really useful.  Additionally for marthon workout,  we typically calibrate the workout in terms of our marathon pace (or fundamental pace or 5km pace etc).. so I would like to set the pace as a parameter.  As my level improves only the parameter changes.

    For this to be really useful it would be really nice to share workouts online. that way we could get someone's workout plan,  set a parameter or 2 and have a tailored plan.    Ultimately we should be able to share a whole 3month training plan which would be parametrized just on our pace settings.
