The Analysis page has been enriched.  Unlike flour, this means faster loading / more chart options / no hanging! Let’s review:

• Customized date ranges available
• Verses charts (weekly) available with negative bars
• Greater date presets including all years run

Customized Dates

Previously you could only use the provided preset date ranges. That was rather restrictive, so now you can enter by hand any date range. Note that if things turn red and shake violently, you must not be using the Gregorian calendar. Make sure you use mm/dd/yyyy.

Verses Charts

Weekly Verses Chart example

If this chart does not make sense, read further: Positive bars indicate that the comparee (person you are compared to) did more of that type of activity during the given period of time (i.e. week). A negative bar means that you did more than that person in that time period. Note that the size of the bar is how much more you did than them.

Though negative bars do not sound very exciting, you better be excited. Gaining this functionality required rewriting the flash magic. While we could have just decided that nobody needed this kind of erudite chart, that would go against the policy of RP. So, please, someone take this chart and put it up on the fridge for us.

More Presets

If you aren’t excite about customized chart ranges, then at least enjoy the new list of years provided! The list will have all years that you and whoever you are comparing in verses mode have run in, so you can try to find some place where you beat them (i.e. 2mi during that year in middle school. Thank’s National Fitness mile!)
