How to start a running training blog
If you are a regular runner, then keeping a record of your sessions in a training log can be important,especially if you are training for a specific goal or a looming race. A great way to monitor your running progress, maintain your motivation and support your training is to keep a running training blog. Here's how to get started...
What is a running training blog?
Blogs are online logs or diaries that enable you to record any aspect of your training; your times, favourite routes or training techniques. All this information builds a picture of how your training is progressing as well as pinpointing any areas of weakness.
But, if you want to keep your blog straightforward, you can! You can use your blog to record simply how you feel during your sessions; good days, bad days or even the best post-workout treat you have discovered. That is the beauty of the blog – it’s up to you!
Another plus is the boost a blog can give you when your motivation is rock bottom and you need a kick-start to get out and complete a session – as the last thing you want is a gap in your blog showing you skived off!
