The Bottom Line

This is the best training log I have ever used. There is plenty of room to get all the notes in, so you don't have to leave out any important information. It's nice to have a legend on every page of useful shorthand (e.g. sc=standard course).

Guide Review - Training Journal

This book starts out with a vision: yours. It guides runners through their vision of their fitness future, through goals, and straight into attaining them. With plenty of room to write about each training session, a nice example for runners new to logging, and several traiing program suggestions (from 5k to marathon), this training journal really has it all. The seperate injury, shoe, and race logs are also very useful. My favorite part of the book, however, is the AM pulse graph. Something you don't just find in any training journal, Jeff Galloway has provided readers with an easy-to-use graph for recording their daily pulse. Why is that important? It allows runners to have a quick gauge to tell you if you've overtrained.
