So I downloaded the program and I have to say it's pretty nice. The
only thing I have noticed- and it may be that I'm not doing something
correctly is that when I add the workout in the details box none of
the metrics are calculated- that is, the Stress and Intensity are
blank... Am I supposed to manually enter these values or are they
supposed to auto calculate.
In the Excel workbook I assembled the TSS and Intensity values are
auto calculated and as such it's stupid simple to build a workout...
The Excel book can be found here with all the formulas etc...

Perhaps the CPBasic program can be modified to achieve auto Stress/
Intensity calculation and then be built into GC so that the planned
PMC charts against the actual PMC...
BTW, in 1.2 I don't see a PMC but in some of the videos showing some
tests of what will become VirtualCheetah I do see a PMC.. is this a
beta feature?
