Synopsis

Whether they're training for a marathon or just trying to stay in shape, runners log hundreds of miles every year. "The Runner's Diary" gives them a place to keep track of them all. Inspired by VeloPress' best-selling training diaries for triathletes and cyclists, this comprehensive journal allows athletes to record all the information they need to stay on target with training goals and to better understand their performance. With ample space to note distance, pace, heart rate, and effort level, runners can review their entire season or refer back to earlier workouts. Room for tracking daily vital signs like resting heart rate, soreness, and quality of sleep and nutrition helps runners keep tabs on their overall health, while a race section with space for dates, distances, and times helps them chart their progress.

About this title

From the Publisher

"Throughout my career I have benefited from keeping a running diary yet I never had an orderly way to track everything, leaving me with a jumbled mess of tattered, lined paper in an exploding notebook. The Runner's Diary is the perfect solution." -- Ryan Hall, 2008 Olympic marathoner, 2007 U.S. Half-Marathon champion, 2006 U.S. Cross Country champion

"I've used a training log for my entire career, and I'm really impressed by The Runner's Diary. It's organized in an easy-to-use format that is accessible to everyone from beginner to the seasoned runner." -- Mary Decker Slaney, world record holder and Olympian

"The Runner's Diary recognizes that running is not just about the day-to-day itself, it's about using each day to work towards long term goals. The planning tools and weekly summary help athletes keep the big picture in mind." -- Shannon Rowbury, 2008 Olympic team member, 2008 USATF Indoor National Champion

"I really liked having separate sections to track my weight, resting heart rate, and workout effort." -- Dathan Ritzenhein, 2005 and 2008 U.S. 12km Cross Country champion
