Hi! I have never posted here before...so here we go!~

I'm starting this program today. How do I log that in my exercise diary? What do I put it under?

Thanks!

    I log the minutes I walked at the pace I walked and the same with the running. Hope that helps!!!:wink:

    I do it outdoors so I use a site called mapmyrun.com to figure out the distance I cover during the half hour and then double it to get my average run/walk speed. That's how I log mine.

    Otherwise when I have access to a treadmill I would track how many minutes I was running and how many I walked and log those seperately at their speeds.

    i put it under both walking and jogging. For example, today I'm doing Week 7 day 3, so I'll probably end up putting "Walking 3.5 mpg for 10 minutes" (the warm up and cool down), "Jogging 5.0 mph for 25 minutes"

    I have always logged it as XX minutes of walking and XX minutes of running (whatever speed you go at). Both of them are in the database. It is nice to see the calories burned increase as you go through the programme.

    Good luck with the programme!

    I wear a heart rate monitor to get the calories burned and then created my own entry of C25K.
