3.0 out of 5 stars The right idea, June 14, 2001

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good diary, cannot write on flap!!, October 26, 2003

By	Heather (Canada) - See all my reviews

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

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but used to be better, February 28, 2003

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

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.
