back to basics - By: S. Young, 29 Sep 2007 
This diary or running log is the sort of "tool" which we have lately lost thanks to such things as computer logs etc. The diary/log is packed with information & enough space to record everthing about your running, training & races. No need to switch on a computer & waste precious time looking at a screen, you can read & re-read what you've done & how you've run while eating your after run snack instead of finding yourself needlessly checking e mails & the like. The sitting down & writing up is almost a cool down in itself with the chance to be as poetic or creative as you want to be; it becomes a journal to hold, to keep & to mull over as the days & years go by; comparing it to computer logs is like comparing running on a treadmill & running outside in the elements, with the sun shining or the rain cooling.. this diary keeps you in touch with the runner you become.
Very good log for tracking your progress - By: , 23 Aug 1999 This is a non-dated (it has no months or dates) spiral-bound notebook with enough space for recording 1 year's worth of entries for tracking your runs. All runners should keep a log of their runs & record such things as weather, distance, pace, day, clothing, route, & general comments with a weekly summary. This book alllows you to do that, & also provides you with inspirational phrases & quotes & tips for improving your run & avoiding injuries. Because it's spiral-bound, you can lay it flat on a desk & write with one hand while the other hand holds a banana or sports drink. I've only see one other log that's as good as this one - John Cronin's log book which contains more photos, which aid in positive imaging for those who know sports psychology.
This is my first log & I've been running consistently for 9 months, but only started keeping a log last month. Already I can look back at last month's times & routes & see an improvement. If I didn't have a log, I'd never have picked up on some of the smalller details of my old runs.
