Leafing through rec.running, I read a message from Malcolm_Tempt@The

Well, Thinnmann uses a tab for each month which I kind of like and has
the dates preset so you just log the type of run, time and distance.
It has room for 2 runs per day. It track shoe mileage and there are 2
pages for mileage totals. One is a graph and one a column.

I just started using Logrun.xls but so far it seems to be a bit more
complete adding heart rate to the equations. Although I don't track my
HR, Maybe I'll start now. You enter a date, distance,time and HR and
it gives %HR, pace/mile week to date, month to date and year to date
mileage. The tabs are set up for Training Plans, Totals per Month,
Totals per Week, 30 day totals(graph), 7 day totals(graph), Around the
World graph, weight and weight graph, race history a running
calculator page and a few others I haven't looked at yet.

Best thing to do is download and play with them for a while.

I've been using my own spreadsheet since '95. It's grown to 33 worksheets.
Lately I've been playing with thinnman and the David Hayes templates. There
are some very nice formulas in there that would come in handy. So I've
combined all three into one giant-multi-purpose-trac-everything-in-my-life
file.

Input! Need more input!

If you have Excel than you can try the log this guy created:

http://www.davidhays.net/running/runlog/runlog.html

Click on "Download"

It uses macros so you will be asked to enable them (possible risk of
viruses etc). I did this earlier in 2004 and had no problems so I
doubt you need to worry about it.

I've tried a few. This one seems to be the most complete for my OCD needs.
A lot of the sheets are protected in order to avoid accidentally mangling
the code. In order to add more shoes to the shoe tracking function I had to
unprotect it and add a 6th pair. If you need to do something like that, use
"dead" for the unprotect password.

Damn, be careful. Before you know it you'll spend more time inputting than running.......

any day's a great day to "start-a-new", however i suppose i can get a little
wrapped up with the symbolic nature of new year's day being the best day to
employ a new regiment.

mine? a runner's log! hoo-ray for me! (now let's see how long it last).
anyone know of some good free runner's logs out the on-line? i don't mind
trading an email address (registering) for a good runner's log that i can
manage on-line. anyone out there using one? which are the better ones? i
would love to start 2005 off right with a log. what better day to start a
log than on saturday?

i'm also considering going out today and buying a HRM....with the intention of
course of employing it in a training regiment. more data for the log too. i
suppose. what are you guys and gals charting w/your log?...distance, temps?
shoes and milage on a specific pair? type of run? (hill training, etc.)?

happy new year to all...be safe and healty for 2005....

I've been using Nike's running log <http://www.nike.com/nikerunning/>
You have to register, but I don't get spam from them. It is a Flash
based app that keeps your data on their server. You can log your info at
any internet accessible computer. It fits my needs perfectly. I like to
record my distance; track my shoe mileage; track time, place, temp and
conditions. I like the way everything is presented and the ease of
entering the info. I've never entered a Nike shoe into the shoe tracker
and I haven't been booted from the system yet!

Also used Road Runners Sports log and Runners World log but found them
to be lacking.
