What to do with Imported Data.
Imported data appears as an icon (either a HRM or Timex icon, depending on the data source). Now that you've imported and/or downloaded data you can attach the data to workouts in PC Coach. PC Coach workouts include ones that were scheduled by a PC Coach Coaching Plan and workouts that you've scheduled yourself.

What are Workouts?
PC Coach uses a "workout" model for storing data. A workout stores data such as distance, time, pace, speed, average heart rate and more. Workouts are a thorough description of your exercise. You can attach heart rate data to workouts. This will automatically fill in the workout data (workout duration, number of intervals, etc) using information from the heart rate file, and it will mark the workout as complete.

In the example below Saturday, November 22 displays a Long Bike workout that has been scheduled (but not completed) and a Polar HRM imported data file.

How to attach imported or downloaded data to a workout.
You can attach the imported data file to the long bike workout by a few different methods.

The easiest way to attach the imported data to a scheduled workout would simply be to drag and drop the imported data icon onto the long run workout icon.

Drag and Drop Method
1. Select the Imported Data icon by clicking on it.
2. Holding down the mouse, drag and drop the Imported Data icon on top of the workout.
3. You will see the workout icon turn gold (marked as complete). If you double click on the workout icon, you will see that the data fields have been filled in based on the heart rate data. Note: If any fields remain blank, you can enter the data manually. (For example, on a run workout, the monitor data will fill in the duration and heart rate information, but since the heart rate monitor does not know how far you ran, you can enter the distance manually).

Attaching data through the Imported Data Summary screen .

1. From the Imported Data summary view (to open the summary view double-click on the Imported Data icon on the calendar) click "Link".
2. If you already have a workout on the calendar to which you'd like to attach the data make sure that "Attach to a scheduled workout" is checked.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Click Next. The program will search for workouts that were planned for this week, but not yet completed.
4. Choose the workout to which you'd like to attach the imported data.
   
5. Click OK.

NOTE: If you have no planned workouts, or do not wish to attach the data to one of the planned workouts listed, do the following. In the Save Options screen (Step 2) you can also choose "Select a workout to schedule" which allows you to choose a new workout definition to which you can attach data. You will be able to select the folder (cycling, training plan, running, etc.) the workout is in, and then the workout type. As soon as you click OK, the workout will be added to your calendar, and the imported data will be linked to that workout, filling in the appropriate (distance, time, etc.) data fields.
