Online athlete running logs that coach can view/comment on

I've only ever used Running2win.com

You can create teams, comment on logs, export data, etc.

The UI is a little old school, but Donn Cabral and a few other pros use it, so it's great for gaining motivation from other runners training.

I second Running2Win.com. It is free and a great tool for coaches and athletes.

Strava is the best I've used. The GPS integration is pretty cool, but you don't need it to use their logs.

A third vote for R2W. You can make teams private and logs private if that's something you care about. Pretty simple to use, but they recently revamped the team page and displays to look a bit more modern.

So I just downloaded my Flotrack log and sent it to running2win and asked if they can import it. I have about 4,000 runs and they all imported perfectly. I don't think the look is old school though and from what little I can tell they have more features than I've ever seen. I don't have a team so I can't tell you if they have a good way to manage a team.

Have you considered creating a Google Doc for each athlete? That way you can prescribe workouts, see if they complete it and then you can both read/write comments. Can access from anywhere, and super easy. Can program it similarly to excel.

RunningAhead.com is GOAT

Google docs is a PITA for logs. The simplicity of a website is much better.

Is flotrack really shutting down their logs??? I can't find any info on that happening. Did they announce it somewhere?

My team also uses Running2win.com. It is very easy to use and you can put in a bunch of details. Furthermore, it's easy to see your teammates runs. My coach always checks everyone's runs and commenta on their run as well.

Yes, they sent out an email. I haven't used their logs for almost 10-years, but I still got an email about it.

It was nice of them to inform people and give them the opportunity to export their logs to another site, although optimally they should have given a little more notice.

I loved the old version of running-log.com, but that site crashed when I was in college and lost everyone's data. I haven't really used it since and haven't found another one that I like as much. Running2win is pretty good, but I'm not crazy about certain aspects of it.

Thanks for the input. We're going to try running2win. I prefer having everyone on the team in the same spot so I can quickly check things during the summer and winter months when we're on a hiatus or so I can refer back to it to gauge athlete fitness.

This looks like it will allow me to do that.

I use Google for workout logs during the season, but we just type a workout name in an e-mail and then put everyone's name in the e-mail with their splits. This way I can search 3x1600 and every single 3x1600 workout we've ever recorded shows up with the date of the e-mail. It is pretty useful and offers a way to quickly assess from the phone. I like that aspect of it.

This is more for offseason when we encounter vacations, etc.

Thanks again!

XCStats.com. By far the best.

It's been mostly focused on CA, but is useful for any team, anywhere. We use it and it's dynamite.

I've used finalsurge for the past month. I've been incredibly impressed. They have a coaches option at 250/year but the amount of data you can put into is incredible. I wish I had a format like this when I was running in HS/college

100% agree. By the far best. The site owner is excellent at communicating as well. I'm a way better coach because of XCStats.com

Running2Win has built an importer to specifically transfer FloTrack running log data into the Running2Win platform. It is easy to do and will transfer quickly and cleanly.

Doesn't LetsRun have their own sponsored running log? I remember signing up for it but have not been on it since I've lost movitation to run/compete this past year.
