The training diary has all the right kind of sections for you to fill in - the only problem is there is not enough room - there should only be one page per day. Otherwise it serves the purpose if you want to discipline yourself and track your training progression/development.

I've been using the Inside Triathlon journal for 4 or 5 years, and have been pleased with it. The most recent edition, however, has a new format that I just don't like. The editors stuck goofy pictures at the top of each page, and took space away from the notes section. There is now hardly enough room to even describe my route, let alone describe the workout in any meaningful way. I am so disappointed that I doubt I'll buy this journal again.

I am a new multi-sport athlete who LOVES to collect data. This diary is perfect; it doesn't provide tons of space for each day, which forces me to think about what I really want to include. My main complaint - it has an outside flap, on which you are to write your goals and objectives. I have tried many different pens and cannot get any to write on the foolish thing, so I have HALF of each of my goals and objectives on the flap and then they trail off to nothing. Less than motivational!

Besides that, though, the diary is very nice. I already have Friel's Triathlon Bible, though - without it, I would be pretty much lost. He DOES give brief explanations of how to plan a season in the diary, but not much more than that.

A diary is supposed to allow me to record my personal information. By adding the irrelevant photos and so-called motivational quotes, they have reduced the space for my personal information even further.

I used the first edition for four years. At least I was generally able to squeeze in the essentials of my workouts. However, the new edition has less space available for each day, and still only room for two workouts. The space for each workout is much less than adequate, and forget ever trying to squeeze in a record of more than two on any day.

Do you ever workout more than twice a day? Then, skip this product!

I bought this journal hoping to have a great place to record my workouts. That is not what I got. The space is limited, and I feel like I need to take a class in journaling the Joe Friel way. I only bought this journal, because I had read one of books and loved it. I quit trying to use this journal and went back to my old fashion way of using a regular journal.

I USED THIS BOOK TO PREPARE FOR MY ASSULT ON THE H.IRONMAN IN 1998. IT GAVE ME ALOT OF STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE. I RECOMMEND THIS DIARY FROM A NOVICE TO A PROFESSIONAL LIKE MYSELF. GREG BENNETT

Magnificently simple approach to training for a triathlon or just staying in shape. A MUST HAVE!!!

Although the trainning diary is an excelent tool in order to get a good tracking of your trainning season, and it's helpful for planning yor season, it's not a book.

You should better bought Friel's Trainning Bible.
