This New Year's I recently started tracking my progress. I track my progress in workouts everyday so I know how many miles I've gotten in and how many workouts I've done. I'm obsessive about organization so every color means something different.
Purple(my favorite): Running
Green: CrossFit
Blue: Swimming
Red: Biking/Spin
Black: Lifting or a rest day
My week in workouts:
Monday 3/3/14: REST
Tuesday 3/4/14: (CrossFit) Diane- 21•15•9 Deadlift (115#) Handstand push-up
Wednesday 3/5/14: (CrossFit) 15 minute clock- 1 min. Max Squats 2 min. Double Unders 3 min. push-ups 4 min.Superman 5 min. Pull ups

Saturday 3/8/1: 10 mile run
Wrap up: 3 CrossFit workouts, 15 miles running, 2 rest days
Do you track your workouts?
Sounds like a solid week of training. I personally track my workouts on excel. I used to use hand written but I like being able to easily compare. I think that tracking workouts is so beneficial for improvement (for anyone).
ReplyDeleteI never thought of excel! I'll have to try that. I think it also keeps you accountable. You see right in front of you when you only did 1 workout or 3 miles in a week haha
DeleteI paper track and use Runkeeper.
ReplyDeleteIt has been keeping me accountable for my workouts tremendously!
ReplyDeleteI track on Dailymile and I have a CrossFit WOD book. I like both :D GREAT week of training
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll have to look into Dailymile :)
DeleteI use Daily Mile and I have a running log. I personally like the log way better. I make them myself, so I have a slot for my pace, and keeping track of the mileage on my shoes. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to get into logging for my shoes! How many miles before you buy new ones?
DeleteI use my nike app for logging miles but I don't log when I cross train or anything like that
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good one!
DeleteI track workouts in two ways. (1) I track weight watchers activity points for any type of workout in the WW website. (2) I track my runs in an excel spreadsheet I built. It lets me easily see miles per week, miles on each pair of shoes, some brief notes about the run, that kind of thing. I technically also track runs on the Garmin website, but that's automated from my GPS watch.
ReplyDeleteI'm not tracking meals yet. That's on my list to do. :)
DeleteYes! I track old-school like you in a notebook & enter my info from my Garmin in the book. I keep a separate notebook to plan out workouts, recipes/meals to make, and all other outside-of-work tasks so that I can plan my days to be sure I get my workouts in.
ReplyDeleteFor my recipes, pinterest comes in handy. :)
