Alteryx + Tableau: Visualising a Simpler RunKeeper Training Plan

Last night I had the honor of presenting at the London Quantified Self Meetup about a project I've been working on to improve the training plan interface for RunKeeper. The session wasn't recorded, so I've recorded it again this morning, which also allows me to go into more detail.

  2. I'm training for my first marathon and wanted a better way to see all of my runs in one place.


Everything is embedded within the Tableau workbook:

      Though I am not able to figure out how to differentiate between activity day and non-activity day in the calendar
