This thread will cover questions about the Bones in Motion (BiM) migration of workouts into miCoach. Once the tool is available, I will post an update to this thread.

  • Thank you for all of your hard work on this application! I love how it works and I cannot wait until the version for the Storm phone is complete.

  • When is this ever going to happen?

      • Great, is this pace smoothing being introduced to micoach so the charts aren't so 'up and down'? I'd really like to see the GPS fine tune functionality back too if possible?

    • Hi John,

       

      I have been lax the last few weeks with regard to my walking activity; actually, it was never anything but spotty before.  So, I guess I'm making a pre-New Year resolution to get a routine going.  I started the transfer of my BiM data just a few minutes ago and I will wait awhile before looking over the miCoach data logs.  In the mean time, I have a few questions.

       

      You said "Those that are still using the BiM Active app on their phones will now have their activities posted into their miCoach account auto-magically as well."  Will I also be able to auto-magically view my completed activities directly on the phone as before?

       

      Should I look over the miCoach app for use on my blackberry, or is it functionally identical to BiM Active?

       

      Lastly, where can I make feature requests? I am intersted in tracking geocaching activities.

       

      Thanks a bunch, Doug

        • Thanks, this is helpful and I have already switched apps to miCoach.   I have a Bold 9000 and a quick walk around the building seems to work very well.  One BiM feature I cannot find is Live Tracking, posted on the website.  Is this planned?

           

          Thanks for a great app.  :Doug

    • I have just migrated my cycling data from BiMand it went very smoothly.

      However, my achievements record my fastest mile as taking 4 seconds.

      I do try my hardest and do go down hill pretty quickly but 900 MPH!!!!!

      Is this a glitch with the migration process. It has only been anhour since I set off

      the migration.

       

      Thanks,

    • My transfer worked just fine.  I just went through and assigned the appropriate workouts to the right shoes and I'm all caught up.  :-)

       

      + I am very much looking forward to the addition of the live tracking in the next version.  And now that my runs are breaking the 5 mile barrier, so is my wife.

    • Jon,

       

      Love your work thus far.  Keep it up.  I've been a BIM Active user for several years and actually like some of the newer features in miCoach.  The other day (around 2/5/11) I mistakenly changed my email (temporarily) and discovered that the migration from BIM Active to miCoach ceased.  Today (2/15/11), I switched back to my original email account.  I can see the data on the BIM Active site but it didn't get migrated to miCoach and there's no "migrate" function available on my BIM login page.  Will I still be able to migrate this data to miCoach or is this just a loss?  Furthermore, is there a way to download all of my data en masse for a personal database?

       

      Thanks again for all of your and your team's hard work,

          • Jon,

             

            I was wanting to show off your new Adidas format to a number of my friends using an awesome climb we did on August 1st 2010.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear in miCoach but /is/ present in BIM Active.  Any ideas why that is?

             

             

            Thanks again for all your hard work.

             

            Ride a Bike!  It makes a difference.

          • Thanks again Jon,

             

            It's been awhile since the migration and I've since purchased a Garmin Edge 800.  However, I recently went to my miCoach account and for some reason can't even see any of the GPS data that was migrated.  Is it too late to download all of that data now that the BIM site has shutdown?

  • Hello, I logged in to setup my migration a couple of hours ago and nothing has migrated yet to micoach.  Is there a known problem with migration right now?

     

    Thanks

      • Thanks, I will check it again tomorrow.

          • Jon,

             

            I have the right credentials but some of the data has not transferred?

  • I have seen that most of my workouts have migrated over, but not all (most of October is missing - overall I am missing 65.26 miles)  How long should I wait for the complete migration to take place. Also will the routes be migrating as well or must I build them all again from scratch?

     

    Thanks.

  • So far I'm liking miCoach.  I can't wait to have the app for my BlackBerry Storm.  I was hoping that you would have this ready to go.  I'm running the MCM10K on Sunday and was really hoping that it would be ready.  I've been training with BiM Active and would love to have had this app in time for may very first race.  Just keep us posted on when it will be ready.

     

    Thanks for the great tools.  BiM has really kept me motivated.

  • So can i just download an activity from my laptop (Garmin) like i did with BIM?  Is this possible with micoach?  I cant figure out how to do this.  I dont use my phone for my workouts so i dont understand how to download my Garmin ANT workouts to micoach.   Am i missing something here? 

  • I posted this on bimactive's forum but have received no reply so I will post here as well.

     

    I know it was stated that we would no longer be able to add activities in BIM once we were migrated.  The thing that I did not realize would also be going away would be "publish to blog" for activities that were already there.  Since my BIM blog will be going away I was going to go back and publish all of my workouts and races to an external blog so I would still have them in the same format.  Can this be turned back on, or is there a way to do this from micoach?

  • Well, I've been migrated, cannot function in micoach the way I did in bim, and can no longer enter workouts in bim.  I may just be too stupid to figure it out.  I know I've not paid anything for bim, and really appreciate what it has offered for the last several years, but it still kind of sucks when something you've used so well for so long goes away.

     

    My bim blog:  http://rtroeh.bimjournals.com

     

    How I use it:  I use a Garmin Forerunner 305.  I download my data into Training Center, then export a .tcx file.  In bim, I import the .tcx file.  I write a brief description of my workout... how I felt, who I ran with, anything interesting that I saw, etc.  I will also manually enter any other workouts including weights, cycling/spin, swimming or just stretching.  I then publish the workouts to my bim blog.  This gives me a full month on one page where I can see the entire workout including splits, elevation, maps, etc.  I don't have to click through each individual workout.  I can share this page with others, and I can easily look back at entire months for races, or just how my training was going at a particular time.

     

    I've looked at micoach, Garmin Connect, Mapmyrun, and Daily Mile and can't find this type of functionality anywhere.  Any ideas anyone, or am I just SOL?

  • Jon,

     

    Ok, first, let me add to the numerous comments on the BIM board that it's been a great run (no pun intended) and BIM has been a tremendous tool. Kudos to you and the rest of the BIM gang!

     

    Change is hard but you guys obviously saw the value to moving over to miCoach so I hope to learn to love it like I love BIM.

     

    I migrated today. The migration went quickly but doesn't seem to be entirely correct. There seem to be missing activities (like the Chicago Marathon on 10/10!) and activities mixed in that weren't runs but it seems like miCoach doesn't differentiate between activity types like BIM did. Is that right? Even sorting and listing activities to check them doesn't seem possible like it was on BIM. Maybe I'm hitting the wrong things.

     

    I posted on BIM too but is there a way yet to add manual activities like we could on BIM? Can we still fine tune? Delete an activity?

     

    Sorry - I can't find any of this stuff on miCoach!

     

    I'm sure you have more than enough to do and I understand some folks miss the blog and other features of BIM but is there any chance someone could write up a simple tutorial of how a BIM user might start interacting with miCoach to at least start with the most BIM-like experience? I'm all for added features but right now I'm just trying to figure out how to not miss getting a run in here the right way and making sure that my existing BIM data is migrated correctly.

     

    I'll miss BIM as it was for the last several years as many people will but I'm sure sticking with you. It'd be great to understand what of the "old BIM" functionality will eventually be part of miCoach and what won't. That means big issues like live tracking and blogging, I guess, as well as little daily stuff like editing activities, fine tuning, deleting, renaming, sorting, browsing, etc.

     

    Thanks Jon!

  • Still don't have all my data transferred from BIM emailed 'getsupport@bim-inc.com' on the 28th still no response even though they say will respond in 24hrs.

     

    Micoach does not allow import or export of data else would do the missing update myself,

     

    Does not allow to take out stops and bad gps signal

     

    does not allow input of heart rate (Manual)

     

    Does not allow achievements to be split by sport

     

    Support is poor at best

     

    Generally poor comms

     

    Plus lots of other really useful features in BIM are missing from Micoach

     

    Come on Micoach get you act together; this could be a really good product

     

     

    Disappointed BIM user

  • I migrated my 2+ years of BIM data, but most of the route information was lost.  Not sure of YOUR terminology, but I had a route (either GPS or map-drawn) assigned to virtually all of my runs, and almost none of that shows up in the migrated routes.  Only about 2 or 3% of my runs still have routes associated with them.

     

    Further, I've tried to figure out how to associated routes (hand-drawn in miCoach) with new runs, and am striking out.  My kids are learning all kinds of new words.

     

    I have other tools to log my runs -- what made this unique was the mapping.  If that's gone (or only works with GPS now), I can do without.

     

    TIA for any assistance you can provide.

    Brian

      • Jon,

         

        Short answer: No, my BiM activities with manually entered routes are still NOT showing up in miCoach.

         

        I did see progress in manually entering runs in miCoach, tho the two-step process in leaving, then coming back to a given entry to enter the route is needlessly convoluted.

         

        In other news, I tried exporting a few of those BiM Routes for import into another application and that ALSO failed.  BiM produced the export files, but they weren't considered valid for import by RunKeeper.  I'm not sure where the fault lay with that one, but users importing from other sources weren't reporting any problems.

         

        Thanks for staying on top of these issues.

         

        Regards,

        Brian

      • Jon, I've already initiated the migration process from BiMActive and only need the manual routes to be migrated.  How do I enter my new micoach password in bimactive.com?  I've dug around a little but cannot find where to update the micoach password.

         

        Thanks,

         

        David.

          • That's right, Jon, I updated my micoach password yesterday, but don't know where to update this information at bimactive.  I remember initiating the migration at bimactive with my old micoach password, but I haven't seen the migration screen again, as most of my activities came across.

             

            David.

              • Jon, I only had half a dozen manually-created routes that have not migrated.  I'm happy to wait to see whether they migrate successfully.  Thanks, David.

  • hi guys,

    i used both BIM and Mi Coach before migration...

    when i migrate lot of my training were duplicated....

    there is any merge procedure???

  • Jon,

     

    My manual entry activities on BIM still haven't transferred over. I did send an email to "getsupport" as instructed. Is this still being worked on?

     

    Thanks very much,

     

    Josh Kanter

    • Jon,

       

      I have followed your instructions and I still have data that has not transferred, I have no manual data.

       

      Regards

       

      Ian

        • Sorry, Jon I must be missing something, but I'm not clear how to find the migration page at bimactive once the original migration phase has completed.  Presumably because I have already performed a migration, when I go to bimactive I am presented with the Dashboard and I can't find any links to get me back to re-enter my new micoach credentials.

           

          Thanks, David.

            • Hi Jon, I guess that must be the case.  Here's the chronological order of events:

               

              1. I visited bimactive once migration was available and was prompted for my *old* micoach password

               

              2. Migration occurred (with the exception of manual workouts)

               

              3. Later, I was prompted for a *new* password at micoach.com, and successfully changed it.

               

              4. I visited bimactive and was still taken to the Dashboard, even though my micoach password had changed and I had not updated it at bimactive.  Manual workouts have still not been migrated.

               

              To be honest, it doesn't bother me greatly, since I have only a small number of manual workouts.  Just thought it might be handy for troubleshooting in case others are experiencing a similar issue.

               

              David.

  • Jon, as we approach the end of the year, can you give an update as to when we can see the app for miCoach on  the Blackberry Storm?

      • Jon, so a lot of time has passed and I still don't see anything regarding miCoach on the BlackBerry Storm (original version).  Was it decided that miCoach would not be able to be used?  Please let me know.  As I've been waiting sometime to be able to use the full version of miCoach on my phone.  Currently, I still use the bimActive app from app world.  Would miCoach be able to be supported on the new rumored BlackBerry Monico (aka Storm 3) when it is released?

  • I went to BIM Active numerous times to migrate over to MiCoach, but nothing ever happened. I still can't find any of my workouts on MiCoach. Is there anything that can be done to recover my data since the www.bimactive.com is gone?

    Thank You.
