Training/Running Logs

At minimum the training log should have the following items:
Date
Time
Weather conditions
Workout:  mileage, course, miles, and interval splits or total time for distance runs
Total mileage should be kept for each day, week and month.
Record your ailments: ongoing and those that are unique for each workout.
Record how you feel about each workout.

Additional items that may be included in your running log include:
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 including the week days.
Resting heartbeat upon awakening - helps to monitor fatigue.
Girls: keep track of your cycle.

Keep your training log in an electronic format, preferably in one spreadsheet or document.
A spreadsheet will allow you to keep track of the mileage totals properly.
Monday is the start day for your weekly log, because that is how the workouts are planned. 
You may use Google docs if you like, I don't. (CoachA@prodigy.net)
This is part of he communication process with the coach.
Update your log everyday after practice.  It should not take more than 5 minutes per day.
Training logs are required, especially for PE credit.
You are documenting your endeavor for posterity.
Training logs are due to me by Sunday night each week.
Keep your logs in an electronic format, in one document with earliest day and week at the top of the document.
