By walker on 4/21/2008 on walker's blog When was the last time you sat down and wrote your training results? Was it yesterday? Was it two hours ago? Have you ever done this? Let me get more specific... Let's say you ride for two hours. Naturally, your heart was beating during that time and some pedaling was involved which equates to speed happening. My question is do you have hardware that records this information or do you simply write down what you did to remember how fast or your experience? In other words, where/how do you keep track? Training logs are important because they define accomplishment. They act as a record of your successes/performance. As for me, I log just about every training session in word document. It acts as a remembrance of what I've done and how I've done it! I look back just about every month to see where I am as a cyclist. Has my performance gone up? Am I climbing harder? Am I winning races? Sure the way I add this detail is lame, but it works for me (until something else comes along). So What do you use to log your trianing? |

Last year, I used an Excel spreadsheet, with a table for each different trail I rode. I would put in the bike i used, the time it took, the direction I went (most trails are loops that alternate), and the date. The Spreadsheet would give me my average speed, fastest lap, slowest lap, and a few other things. How is that for a nerdy approach to biking. It really did help though, and really kept me pushing to beat my previous times. Was a great motivator. I will have to keep that up this season. Brandon |
