Running Logs

Forgive me if this has been posted before....

But I thought it would be a good thing to have a post to link favorite running logs that people use. I currently use the Dead Runner's Society log located here:

http://home.avvanta.com/~dhays/running/runlog/runlog.html

Lets me see a break down of runs, races, I can set up a training schedule, tracks upto 5 pairs of shoes, etc...

So...anyone else have a good one they recommend?

I use SportsTracks. I load all my activities into it. It tracks weight and other fitness related data points and an unlimited about of equipment. There is also a development community that build some pretty nice plug-ins for Weather, Power estimation, Training Load, Elevation Correction, etc.

I also use SportTracks. Now the reality is that I rarely look back at anything. But I do like the tracking, especially on equipment

I use daily mile/electric miles.

I rarely look back at individual activities unless I am looking for a lap time at a trail or something like that.
However, I do like to look at the cumulative data in the reports area. It's nice to see the correlation between exercise time or distance and weight. Or to see a breakdown of running miles per week, month, year, etc.

RunningAhead.com is the best free log I have found. Here is my log.

I second RunningAhead. It's not a very "social" site, aside from the forums, but the way it handles and reports data is very efficient. Prior to this, I used Endomondo, but digging around there for useful information (they track how many trips to the moon you've made) is a little awkward. I use Garmin Connect just to talk sh** and as a backup.

RA tracks equipment, multisport, courses, PRs, etc.

I use Garmin Connect but I may be switching soon because I'd like to start tracking shoes. Otherwise it works fine. I've also been playing a bit with Strava, which is fun since you can compare times on segments and courses.

I'm saving this thread for later. Tracking equipment is something I'd never thought about.

You are crazy in the most amazing way...

I use Strava. I like being able to compare my performance on different routes to both myself and others. It also allows for tracking shoe mileage. I think there are forums but I have never used them. I am told the phone app has a bunch of functionality that I don't get uploading my Garmin to the site but it is nothing I am missing out on.

I use dailymile. Started using it because of the social aspect. I had no freaking clue what I was doing when I started training for my first ultra and it was nice to have input from experienced runners! Plus, it's fun to get in a monthly mileage competition with my running partner every now and then

I'm a weirdo who uses a lot of different things. Sporttracks, GarminConnect, Runkeeper, Strava and I still no matter what enter it into my handy-dandy Excel workbook (which also tracks shoes).

i have a garmin account, but mostly i use my old school excel spreadsheet...colour coded and everything.

I've used the dead runners log for years posted above. Made a few modifications.

I guess I am new to these logs. Are these logs you use connected to a Garmin or app of some sort, or do you enter the information into it manually?

I use runkeeper to track my running and keep my running shoes in their original box, using tick marks to record the mileage on each one. I feel so unsophisticated :sad:

I too use an excel spreadsheet btw

Same here. It's a good workbook.
