Theoretical situation: You do your hard workout in the morning and then in the afternoon you decide your legs feel a little sore so you go on a two mile shakeout at a real slow pace. My question is that should you log these miles in your training log? I always have but lately ive been thinking that maybe these "shit" miles(as my team like to call them) should be logged. What do you runners think. Prefrable info from people who have done some serious training. Thanks

what difference does it make if you "log" them. you still ran 'em. or does it not count unless they get entered in your log?
You run 'em, you log 'em. Period. Topic over. Move on. Deal with it. LOL. A wink is as good as a nod. Say no more. You heard it here first. TRUST ME.
I used to call these junk miles and a lot of warm up and cool down is a bit like this.
Its a shame a 20 year old thread is about to be nuked because it has a naughty word in the title.
if I ran an all out mile then shuffled through another mile to cool-down they would get put down for 1 mile each. I don't think the warm up or cool down miles are junk. Without them the race or workout would go much worse for me so they are still quite important miles.
There is no such thing as junk miles, Mr. 20 Years Ago. If you log your miles, you log every mile you cover. I hope you haven't failed to do so for 20 years now.
