A Programmable Training Diary

choochoo (ch2)

An open, hackable and free training diary.

See documentation for full details.

Training data are stored in a database...

• There are tools to get data into the database:
  • Read FIT files from smart watches, bike computers, etc
  • Daily information (eg weight) can be entered via the diary
    • Ability to add custom fields for general data capture
  • Other data (eg FTHR) can be entered at the command line
• There are tools to process data in the database:
  • Prepared calculations for data totals, ranking, averages
  • Ability to extend processing with Python
• There are tools to get data out of the database:
  • Browse and edit data in the diary
  • Pandas tables for analysis in numpy and Jupyter notebooks
  • Examples for plotting spatial and time-series data
• Clear database schema, designed for third party access:
  • SQLAlchemy ORM interface

The configuration is also stored in the database...

• You can schedule training plans:
  • Prepared / example training plans included
  • Simple, declarative library for defining your own plans
• You can add data fields to the diary
• You can extend the statistics calculation pipeline

The project can be used stand-alone by someone comfortable with the technologies used, or it could be extended with a GUI.
