I'm introducing a new feature to the forum enabling you to log your training and keep track of your mileage/training sessions/condition etc.

If anyone is interested in helping me with some pre-release testing please let me know. It should be ready for everyone to use in about a week.

Cheers,

Dan

Release

The training blog is now open for everyone to use. You can see my training blog here as an example. Its a useful tool for logging your training sessions and keeping a record of your weekly mileage.

To add an entry to your blog click 'Profile' at the top of the page then 'Add New Entry' under 'Training Blog'.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions for improvement just let me know.

Ohhh I love this. Thanks.

I can make sure that I record all the details from my run.

 

[Dan_R]

Glad you like it firekat.

I should have mentioned that you can make your blog private if you wish (i.e. so only you can see it). There is an option for this at the top of the page where you view your blog. Ladies in particular should be cautious when displaying their routes and regular running times.

ops!

there is me telling the world about my runs! And not thinking at all about safety.

 

[Bryn R]

I'll have to have a look at this training log, does it have a good capacity to take down track workouts as well or is it more of a steady run only thing?

 

[Dan_R]

You can do reps as well Bryn, just enter the distance (e.g. 400 metres) then comma seperate your split times. Your best time will be highlighted in bold on your blog.

I've recorded a track session in my training blog if you want to see an example (in August).

Any plans to incorporate any mapping??? I currently use fetcheveryone and Map my run

 

[Dan_R]

I'll look into mapping, that would be a nice addition. Do you just use map my run to save your routes?

 

[Steady Edwina]

Yes and they have this new feature now where you can downlod them into Google Earth.

This Is Great...thanks For Setting It Up.

I've Always Kept A Training Diary So This Has Made My Life Easier!

 

[flakey]

Good work Dan, there is no hiding place now!

 

[ajtuna]

Could we have the option to add a rest day?

 

[Dan_R]

Rest day functionality has now been added, also a small bug was fixed so you can now enter distances in decimals (thanks to Focus for finding that one).

Theres been a small update to the training blog over the weekend. You can now delete and edit past entries.
