Running logs

I use a simple excel spreadsheet. Each week gets two rows. The top row is used to describe what I did, the bottom row is strictly for the total of number of miles for each day. In the column at the end of the row, I insert a formula to total the miles for the week, and then at the bottom of that column after the last week of the year, I have a formula that keeps a running total of my total year-to-date miles.

I typically put workouts in bold type; races in green type; off days in red type, This allows me to find pertinent information pretty quickly and easily.

It is nice to have the data there to manipulate, and once you prepare the spreadsheet once, you can use the same base form pretty easily each year.

I do this in addition to Garmin Connect/Strava, which is the simplest way to handle this.
