Comments on: Online Workout Log Recommendations? http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/post/online-workout-log-recommendations/ My Journey from Couch Potato to Triathlete Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:31:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Sheryl http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/post/online-workout-log-recommendations/comment-page-1/#comment-45418 Sheryl Wed, 22 Sep 2010 17:25:43 +0000 http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/?p=713#comment-45418 Hi, Thank you so much for asking this question - I googled training logs, as I have been using excel and wanted a better option, and I found this page. I am also a triathlete and recently discovered an app on my iPhone for mapmyrun - for FREE you can wear your iPhone (on your armband or on bike) and it utilized the GPS technology in the phone to record route, pace, etc... then you can record it automatically in the mapmyrun log. (If you want to listen to music at the same time, I think you have to buy the paid version for $5 or so). iPhone's are only $100 for a 3GS or $200 for the new iPhone 4 with a new contract with AT&T. If you don't already have a smart phone, I recommend it. It is a way to bundle expenses (rather than buying a separate GPS for exercising only), if you're strapped for cash. Other smart phones (like the Droid and Blackberry) are catching up with the iPhone's apps, as well. Sheryl Hi,

iPhone’s are only $100 for a 3GS or $200 for the new iPhone 4 with a new contract with AT&T. If you don’t already have a smart phone, I recommend it. It is a way to bundle expenses (rather than buying a separate GPS for exercising only), if you’re strapped for cash. Other smart phones (like the Droid and Blackberry) are catching up with the iPhone’s apps, as well.

Really sweet! Ok, it only for weight training but it works really well for my needs.

It will make it very simple for athletes to log all of their workouts and see graphs and trends. I am currently in the process of building out a beta of a new triathlon specific workout logging tool.

I use alpilot, a hard to find program for the palm pilot. If you're a palm user, this thing rocks. Pace time distance altitude, weight, HR weather, effort, mood notes, easy entry, graphs, it's great.

Before all the comments came in, I paid for beginner triathlete. So I've been using that for a week. Then one blog reader told me about http://www.buckeyeoutdoors.com which is wonderful and FREE! I'd probably have used that, except now I'm used to Beginner Triathlete and I already paid for it. Beginner triathlete is a bit cumbersome, but once you get used to navigating around, it’s great. It really has everything I’m looking for. I wanted something that also helps me log my calories, so that was a factor too. I can’t use all the “time in zone” heart rate graphs, because my old polar HR monitor doesn't support that (not even sure if it tracks time in zones?). Oh well, there’s still a ton of other graphs there, such as training versus actual, percent fat calories consumed, etc! Another cool thing is I can dyanamically include info, which I have done in my <a href="http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/?page_id=720" rel="nofollow">Training Log page</a>.

I am really happy with the Garmin 305 I got recently. The garmin software is not all that great, but the motionbased software is terrific and very easy to work with.

I use a spreadsheet, and have some interest in logging online as well if I can find the perfect tool. Great question Carol!

It has categories for swim, bike, run, pilates, yoga, weightlifting. It also can graph according to several criteria including time, distance, heart rate, weight.. whatever you want.
