Where do you keep your training plan?

Despite all the devices out there that will alert you on your smart phone or text you or adjust your daily workout according to your progress, I'm a firm believer in the fridge magnet training plan.

Stuck to my fridge door I have a marathon training spreadsheet that I personalised from a Hal Higdon plan with a countdown to the London Marathon, and a basic weight-training programme. I need to be more specific with my workouts on non-running days, but I suspect my plans would go awry without a bit of flexibility!

Anything more complex or that required more effort to see on a daily basis (such as switching something on!) is just one more obstacle between me and actually doing it.

What do you do?

    I keep mine in a spreadsheet on my computer, along with a running plan that I print out and stick on the treadmill for my interval training.

    I wrote up a "contract" with myself and signed and dated it and posted copies everywhere - one at my work desk, one on the fridge, one in my bathroom. It's everywhere I look and reminds me of the promise I made to myself.

    On my phone. That way I have it with me at all times. I also keep a printout in my car.

    I actually have my half marathon plan in a notebook. Everysunday I get it out and write the weeks training on a whiteboard. I put the date, what the workout is and then the time it took me to complete it. Like if I run 4 miles, I put the time it took. If I strength train, I put what part I worked (abs, legs etc) and how long I did it. I keep the board next to my bed

    I have my running schedule in my Google Calendar and it syncs up with my Android phone. This way, whether I'm at my computer or away from home, I'll know how many miles I'm supposed to run that day, if any.

    Since I just completed the half marathon I was training for, I recently updated it with new dates and mileage for my next one on March 25th.

    I don't really do anything on a regular basis besides running, but I if were going to, I could do the same with those activities, as well.
