Training log

[cyclenic]

Does anyone keep a training log? I have been looking at the one on www.mapmyride.com

I like the idea of being able to plot your ride, see how far you have been and note how long it took you.
I'd like somehting nice and simple i'm not into the whole calorie count or hill ratio.

Can anyone suggest any sites they use?

http://www.cyclogs.co.uk (There is a Cyclechat team on here)
http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/main/index.do (for uploaded GPS tracks from my N82 phone).

I'm considering signing up for worldcommute.com too.

Years ago, I created a MS excel spreadsheet to mimic a diary.
It was to keep a record of my AUK rides for Series awards.
Date, distance, applied, completed, recieved points etc.

It is now 12 sheets for the years since it started.

I expanded on it in 2000 when I did a 'Mileater' medal. 10,000 km. Every km noted and totalled.

Its on my USB stick right here. 26th November 2008, 39km. 1hr 32m.

Cyclogs, excel and an Access database. The idea of the database was to pull all the various bits together I've used over the years i.e. I scanned in all my handwitten logs which could then be accessed in the database. It's half done, must get round to sorting the rest out soon.

I use sportstracks as it downloads straight from my garmin.

I use an MS Access database that I cobbled together .. it fits exactly what I want to use it for, funnily enough. I also signed up to Cyclogs to do my bit to add a (very) few miles to the Cycle Chat team .. and to significantly reduce the average speed of the team.

I have been using the Cyclogs site for a couple of months and I think it's great. Nice and simple and fun to compare yourself against other CC riders (I am currently battling with Baggy for 10th spot)!

I use Cyclogs but if you want to download something just for use on your computer and not internet based go to http://www.bikelogs.co.uk/ . Like Sittingduck I enjoy comparing myself against other riders. I'm currently chasing Lazy-Commuter

Do you use a different name on Cyclogs? And now you've told me I'm going the long way home tonight even though it's raining.

Of course . Don't worry I won't be overtaking you! I spotted your name on there and then on here and eventually put two and two together - duh (a bit slow I'm afraid where names are concerned!)

Oh that's a different Lazy-Commuter on Cyclogs, a much slower one than me.

I'm looking over my shoulder as we speak .. just in case like.

I use a wee program called Cyclistats:-

Quite good, you can download a free trial version from the site.

Just Excel for me, too, although I record running and swimming on it as well.

I have annual targets for distance and height gain, with 'rate required' boxes like at cricket limited over matches. I also have a % of days exercised counter, which changes colour if I drop below target.

All very childish and in my case the targets are quite modest - 365 miles a year running, for instance - but I find it helps to keep me motivated and to get out there to do it.
