great training log!

The Total Runner's Almanac 3 is a great training log. With all of the space given for each day I record not only runs, but my times climbing stairs and other vital information. I find it easy to use and easy to navigate if I want to look up previous entries. I highly recommend this training log.

Simple, but useful: just right

This is basically an unlabeled calender, with one week visible at a time with the book open. There are 4 daily entries on each page, with a weekly summary page for the "eighth" day. At the beginning of the book, and at the end, there are training tips. The training tips are useful, but nothing you couldn't read in more detail either at "Runner's World" or "Runner's World training book". Not bad, but basically reminders, or introductions if you are more of a beginner. The entries are lines with a few boxes at the top. You kind of design your own format within the pre-printed format. For example, I start with the distance and time at the top line, then record my heart rate monitor readings on the lines below, and finally write down the calories burned in the boxes above the line. You'll come up with your own format based on what's important to you. There's a lot of flexibility. I've used these training logs for about 3-4 years, with about 5 more blank ones to go. (To give you some background information on me, I'm only doing 18-25 miles per week now, but I have run as much as 900 miles in a (3 month) summer, and I've been running about, um, let's see, 38 years. Hmmmm. Now I feel old).

Best Runners Log to Date!!!

I have tried many different running logs in my 6 years of running. I really love to log everything about my run and have plenty of room to do it. This is one of the best runners logs I have ever used. It has plenty of room to write, more than 52 weeks(you know, the first and last weeks of the year sometimes gives you half weeks in your log book and then you end up needing space for 53 or 54 weeks), running basics info, and pages for making charts and graphs and yearly logs. I am on my second one and I would be content with buying a box of them and just using this one log for the rest of my running life.
