Organize Your Running

I'm giving my legs a much needed rest today, so not much to report. However, I did want to let everyone know about a pretty sweet tool that is available from RunnersWorld.com. It is a free training log which allows you to log all of your running information at one convenient site. You can get there here, click on "Log in Or Create an Account." As I'm writing this, for some reason every time I click to log into my account it goes to the home page. I'm not sure why it's being stupid but it should work. Oh, there it goes. It worked! (It's like you're reading this live)

What can you do with this training log? I'm glad you asked. Each time you run you can click on "New Run Entry" and record the date/time of your run, type of run (easy, interval, hill, race), the route you ran, distance/time, what shoes you wore, and more. Selecting the route you ran is fun because you can use their map to select and customize your own personal route, or find routes that other runners have added in your area. It also tells you how many miles your route is once you've made it. It also will make a calendar which shows you what you've done for each day of the week. Also, there are graphs which track your distance over 12 months or 52 weeks, and you can make your own graphs as well. Additionally, the training log allows you to log other information such as biking, swimming, strength training, and walking. Very nice.

So, if you like to track and see your progress in front of you, all organized and accessible, you will like this training log at RunnersWorld.com. That's all I've got for now. Until next time...
