non burning logs..

Nov. 7th. Vote today for your favorite leader.....what ever!

for the last three decades I have used a training log as my guide in life when it comes to training. I never lied in my log as I am the only one who is going to view it so therefore there is no reason to impress someone else with inflated numbers. Only once did I loan a person my log to give some guidance on how to run a difficult 50 mile trail run. It was the JKF 50 and I have done it several times and always did well so this runner looked at my training leading up to the race. A week later I got the log back with a thank you and a comment that I was totally insane and they would not be running this for now(training mileage in the 80's was excessive). I finally convinced them that my training was somewhat over the top for the event, but I wanted to ensure that I would successful without killing myself on race day and would rather die on my own time.
Anyway I have recorded religiously all my training sessions most of the time without thought until I looked back each week or so to see if I was making progress or just spinning my wheels. Also if I was not making gains or did make a successful change in body or strength, it was an excellent way to see what the formula was that made it happen. Feed back from you training log always seem to kick start or maintain momentum. Also if there was a injury, you can go back to what the series of events that lead up to your down fall. We all known injuries take place in micro increments and not just one fall.
I always look at the gyms I have trained in an the ones most successful are the one where the members have books with them jotting down their sessions like some over sized Secretary.
