Add your training
For each weekday, you can register all data about your training.
You must first click on a specific day in the This Week section and enter your training data.
You have to input the distance ran (1) and how long it took you (2).
Don’t forget to describe how you felt during the training and in what shoes you ran (remember to add your shoes to the database before you start the activity).
You can also be precise about what the weather was like and what surface you ran on.
If you monitor your organism, you can add information about your heart rate, resting heart rate, and how long you slept last night.
There’s also the possibility of adding some comments about each training session.
It’s up to you which fields you’ll fill in. But the more data you provide, the deeper analysis you’ll get later of your running progress.
When you fill in all data about your training for a specific date, it will be checked. Good job!
Add new shoes
With this Running Journal, you can monitor shoes’ lifespan too. This template will inform you about the current usage of your running shoes. Thanks to that you can avoid some injuries because you will know that shoes must be replaced by new ones.
Go to the Running Shoes section and click the New button to add new shoes.
A new page will appear. Name your shoes (1), add the date of purchase (2), and most important - determine how long you can run in them (3).
Once done, you will see a new card for your shoes with their name and current lifespan in percentage.
Add new record
Did you get a new record? Congratulations! Now, it’s time to save it in your Running Journal. Keep track of your achievements and stay motivated!
Go to the Personal Records section and click the New button to add a new record.
When a blank page appears, name your record (1) (for example, Marathon, 10km or Gold 5km). Then add the date of your achievement (2), the location (3), and of course, your best time (4).
After that, your list of personal records will display a new item.
This Week
The default Running Journal database view shows the current weekdays. You can open each of them and write down data for each run. Once it’s done, you’ll see a checkbox ticked.
My Running Journal
This is the core database of the Running Journal template. It stores all information provided by you after each training. It can help you monitor your progress as you move through your running program, allowing you to look back over a detailed record of your running history.
By default, you’ll see data for This Week. Other views are available: Last Week, This Month, Last Month, and All Entries.
Personal Records
Stay focused and motivated! Track your running goals and progress. Register your record from race or training.
Feelings Tracker
This section shows statistics about your feelings during each training. You can review how often you felt: Awesome, Good, So-So, Sluggish, or Injured.
Running Shoes
Avoid injuries! That’s why you can add to the database your running shoes. Give them the name, indicate the date of purchase, and most important - the maximum distance you can run in them.
When you reach 80% of the shoes’ lifespan, you will get a suggestion to replace them with new ones.
When you reach 100% of the shoes’ lifespan, you will get a critical message to stop using them to avoid injury.
