Keeping a Running Training Journal
Why Maintain a Running Journal?
The best way to monitor your progress in running training is to keep a personal running journal. This will help you track all the details of your training, comparing past runs with current ones. By doing so, you'll understand where you started, how you're improving, and identify areas for further improvement.
Record Your Daily Runs
Documenting your progress and past mistakes can help you reach new milestones. Creating a training journal doesn’t need to be complex. Simple notes or bullet points about the distance you covered and the time taken each day can be very effective.
Add Personal Details
For a more personalized journal, include specific stories about your runs. Note the exact times, distances, and routes, and include your emotions or thoughts during the run. This helps you identify what factors help improve your performance or hold you back. Keep your entries straightforward and simple.
Explore Fartlek ?" Speed Play
Running is fun, but not everyone knows about "fartlek," a Swedish term for "speed play." It involves bursts of speed during a training run. Always ensure you warm up before starting. In your journal, detail your warm-up exercises and any immediate improvements observed. This will allow you to compare the effects of warming up versus jumping straight into a run.
Compare Past and Present Runs
Analyze and compare your performance with and without warming up. This comparison can help highlight the importance of warming up to prevent injuries and improve your time, distance, and speed.
Document Your Speed Bursts
Keep a record of speed bursts during various distances. Include details on timing, the recovery pace, and jogging intervals. Varying your speed from as little as 15 seconds to a few minutes offers insight into your performance and helps create a comprehensive account of your training.
Keeping a running journal is an invaluable tool for tracking progress and enhancing your running experience.
