4.0 out of 5 stars 1 year training diary to track your training..., July 9, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Velo News Training Diary (Paperback)

I won this training diary as a preme at a local bike race.
It is organized into 52 one week sections. There is room
for you to enter Hours slept, weight, diet, resting
and standing pulse rates, route, daily mileage, time on bike,
and other misc. notes. At the back there is a check list
of all the things you should bring to your races. I found
this very usefull because many times I forget to bring items
to a race. I guess if you use it regulary, it will help you
organize and improve your training because you can see what
you did right and wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every racer should have a training log, September 21, 2005

This review is from: VeloNews Training Diary (Spiral-bound)

Regardless of how you keep it, electronically or on paper, it's essential to have a training diary if you are serious about training and racing optimally. Joe Friel's log is well organized and contains enough space to include all the information you should be recording. For those who are unable to have a coach and must essentially self-coach, it is a great companion to his Cyclists Training Bible, which I also recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars An effective tool for better fitness!, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Training Diary: A Weekly Log for Tracking Your Cycling Fitness (Spiral-bound)

This log allows for the training cyclist to advance their fitness through tracking the progress that they are making. This is a must for the serious racer who can't keep going with a day to day training schedule.
