4.0 out of 5 stars my favorite log, January 12, 2003

By	SEDM (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I'm in my 4th season of triathlon (go SeaTri!) about to do my first marathon. I've tried other logs with more boxes to fill in but they're too customized to someone else, I like that this is a pretty unstructured format. I tried making my own but I made it 8.5x11 and it was too unweildy, so I've come back to this log again and I actually use it. I like the week totals, it's very satisfying to see my marathon training milage ramp up. In the review section I put reminders like gear I need to replace or drinks that did or didn't work for me. I follow their recommendation of drawing a diagonal line across days I didn't work out and it gives a good quick sense of whether or not I'm slacking. My biggest drawback is I have messy handwriting (keyboard junkie ;-) so I have trouble staying between the small lines. I could go digital, but I like that this can kick around in my closet by my gear.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's an okay start, May 25, 2007

By	K. Martinez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It doesn't have everything I want in it. The log is really basic. It has three lines, one for running, one for swimming (in yards-I count in meters), and one for biking...for each day. I really would like more space to write, more guiding questions about the day (e.g. Weather, temp., time of day), a space for cross-training (e.g. elliptical, weights), space for calories in and out, weight, and space for split times. If I ran or biked twice in one day, there is only one small space for miles/time. But again, I guess since it's my first tri, it's better than writing on pieces of scratch paper as I was doing before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource, May 17, 2007

By	TRYTRI "TRYTRI" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I like it better than the online site I was using, because there is more space for notes. Wish there were lines for general notes not pertaining to a specific workout, but there's space to write in the margins. Very easy to use & flexible. No wasted space. Good tips.
