Training Log

A minimum training log should have the following items:
Date
Time
Weather condition
Workout:  mileage, course, miles, and interval splits or total time for distance runs, or number of jumps or throws and what kind.
Total mileage should be kept for each week and each month
A record of ailments: ongoing and those that are unique for each workout

Additional items that should be included in your training log include:
How you felt about the workout.
Weight: starting and ending - very important during hot weather
Shoes - to monitor the mileage that your shoes accumulate
Hours of sleep the night before the workout - track weekly accumulation
Resting heartbeat upon awakening - helps to monitor fatigue

If you keep your training log in an electronic format, then use a spreadsheet,
A spreadsheet will allow you to keep track of the totals properly.
I would strongly suggest that Monday is the start day for your weekly log.
