I find it quite irritating. Not just because I have to go in and delete them when I've not done the session (does happen ;-)) but even when I've done it exactly as per plan (does happen too) I effectively duplicate the entry with the Garmin upload. Even if I don't use a Garmin, eg on treadmill, I still have to go in and edit anyway, to add time etc, so it just seems it would be better all round if you had to manually verify a plan entry before it dropped through to log. When I had a plan live I occasionally looked at the log and got all excited by how well I was catching up on target only to realise there was a duplicate entry But if I'm the only one who feels this way I will restrain myself from making the suggestion to The Powers That Be.

Totriornottotri Jul 2020 7:49am, 7 Jul 2020 456 posts	0 Totriornottotri Every 4 years someone posts on this thread - I will have around the site later to see if there's an answer. Question: I have 2 entries planned each day. Once I have done the first session the second disappears. I had auto erase on so have now turned off. Would have thought it would erase at 2359 or on next upload as I could upload days later. Have I solved it or is it me or other?
