Training Log

It is extremely import to plan you training and monitor your progress. A training log of some sort is absolutely required. Below are a couple of good options:

My Simple Training log - My “Simple Running Log” Excel Spreadsheet is what I’ve used for years. After my first few purchased log books at $10 to $20 each, I realized that an excel spreadsheet was all I really needed. I’ve since refined it with charts, several tabs for Planned vs. Actual training, and pages for notes about courses, shoes and a journal. I am also incorporating some training plans both my own suggestions and some leading expert inspired plans that can be pasted into your individual plan. Those are still in the works and will be ready for a future release.

For Just $4.95 you can purchase this plan, and if you are knowledgeable with excel you can modify the dates for years to come.

Training Peak Online - Training Peaks is one of the better online training sites on the internet. They have a Free online training log and you can incorporate training plans from Hal Higdon or their other affiliated coaches, like myself, into the plan. One of the best values is incorporating my $4.95 plan with Training Peaks free plan. This give you the best of both worlds.
The drawback on the free plan is the advertisement you get sent to you daily, however its not to bad. The paid version is $19.95 per month or $119.75 per year, but this includes several upgraded features. Go to http://www.trainingpeaks.com for more info.
