...Why keep a Running Log?
Five Reasons to Keep a Running Log
1) It can be an extra motivator. Zero days don't look good. Sometimes, you can even hear your log whispering to you...."get out and do this run"
2) It allows you to visibly review your progress. By the end of summer, you look back and see that you ran a 20 mile week in early June, and had comments like "this 3 miles felt sucky", and now you are running 40 mile weeks and 8 milers with comments like "that was the best that I've felt going up Richardson ever" OR You look at your faster interval times for a specific workout this week versus the same workout last month, or even last year (if you keep your logs up)! Progress builds confidence, and confidence builds PRs and championships.
3) It can allow you to analyze what lead up to your PR. What workouts did you do over the past two weeks that lead up to your PR? For this purpose, it would be good to also add "prior night's sleep hour" in the comments of your logs as a routine. If you discover good patterns, repeat them to success.
4) It can allow you to analyze what lead up to a cold or injury. Or maybe just analyze what lead up to patch of soreness or dead legs. Hopefully, you don't need to do this. But having a log allows this kind of analysis, so that when they happen, you don't repeat the same mistakes in the future.
5) It will get you a MCHS XC 350, 400, or 500-mile summer running t-shirt!
