This is a great training journal! Not only does it have a space to record daily run info, but it has little tips and fun facts on every page.

For each day, there is a space to fill in the route you took, distance and time, any cross-training you did, how you felt, and thoughts. At the end of the week, there is a place to record your weekly total miles of running, and your total milage to date.

There are 52 weeks of log space in this journal.

Start recording your milage, feelings, and thoughts now... you will benefit from it in the future... and it may even give you some laughs to see how you felt starting out.

Full color is nice. Organized and has places for miles, time, etc.

Only con is I wish it had more space for writing comments daily, instead of the big weekly comment box. That's just my personal preference, there's nothing wrong with this log.

The 2006 edition has been released. The earlier reviews were written about the earlier edition (2001 or 2002?) and the editors seem to have taken the feedback to heart and have come up with a much improved version this year. For this edition, instead of having the week start at Sun, they have decided to put the weekend together, starting the week at Mon and then ending with Sat and Sun. There is plenty of space to write. The pictures and captions are colorful, attractive and useful. There is half a page of notes for you to fill up with thoughts of your runs, nutrition, whatever you want at the end of each week.

I just started running 3 months ago and I found this journal really helpful. Just the thought of filling up the pages with my runs motivate me to do better each work. It feels great to see that your efforts are paying off when you go through the filled pages and see how your mileage has been going up. Also, I use the empty half page to put down my calories intake, my goals for the week (whether for running or for personal life) and my thoughts. It is like having a friend! I recommend this for beginning runners!

As the title of the book suggests, this is simply a journal for you to record your daily runs, some info about your races and times, and your shoe history. Each page lists space to record info for 3 days of running, and has a quote about running or a tip off to the side. While the tips are helpful for new runners, and the book might be a nice motivational fctor, there is really nothing here that you can't find off the Internet by typing in "running tips" in a search engine.

If you don't have Internet access, it would be a decent book, but Runners World's own web site (and many other sites) has a much more comprehensive online training journal that can not only log your runs, shoes, and routes, but provide detailed reports and graphs as well.

The price of the book is low enough so that it's not really a bad deal, just a little behind the times. After all, the majority of the book IS blank paper.

This was okay. I wish there was a little more room for comments on each day. However, I LOVE the tips and the quotes of the day! I would recommend this product to anyone...

I LOVE this training log. This log is perfect for the busy runner. It has just enough room for all you need to record, but the only drawback (to me) is that there is not a section for the weather. I do, however, like the shoe history and Rave Run sections. I have owned at least 10 of these journals from Runner's World, and I have never been disappointed. The advice that is given in the journal can be found in their magazine, but for the casual runner, they aid in performance and additional information. I highly recommend this log to runners in place of a simple notebook or calendar. It includes so much information that you may forget before you have the time to record it.

I've tried many, many running logs and journals but this is the one that I keep coming back to. It's simple, and has fun little tips and advice on each page. If you're wanting to record how many reps and sets you did of each weight training exercise, there are better logs for that. But if you want a basic training journal to write down the details of your runs, this one is darn near perfect. The only thing I wish it had was a column for shoes worn, so I could keep track of the milage on my shoes. But there's enough room in each day's log that I can easily fit that in on my own.

This product was in great condition and it arrived in a timely manner. I have been looking for a great running journal and this one is great. I love that it is colored pages and gived me lots of space to write on for each day. Plus I can log the weeks miles and total miles run for the year. I would reccommend this to any avid runner.

This is my second journal so I've been using it for a year. It's pretty much got everything covered but it would be nice if there was a little more room to record daily cross training and more space for recording races in the back of the book since I do more then space allows. I've bought and tried other journals but they do not compare. I like the "Tip of the Week" and there is even a running quote to keep you motivated. Buy this journal whether you're a beginning runner or been running forever and want to keep a record of all that hard work as well as the good times.

I agree with other reviewers about the lack of space to write notes in this edition. The previous edition was a joy to use.
