Completely agree. I think the turning point with Strava was when they started graphing mile splits in terms of speed rather than min/mile pace (I.e. negative splits are now represented by an increasing bar chart).

It beats pushing up the daisies.
Plus at least you are still running.
LOGARUN dot com all the way. Got that classic 1999 look to it and simple interface -- a true GRINDER's, BLUE COLLAR running log.

They didn't just decide to "social mediatize" it. Strava was founded on day one as a social network for athletes.
It's unfortunate that they won't include some features that serious athletes would want, just because they want to keep it approachable (e.g., total elapsed time at each split), but if you really care, you can use Sportracks, TrainingPeaks, or even Garmin Connect. I still find Strava is good enough for 99% of the time. And if you want to just use it as a log, you can go 100% private and not even follow anyone.
Composition notebook FTW! But I upload faster efforts to Strava. It's fun to see where I rank on KOM segments.

It's more than that. It's primarily the instagram/facebook connected thing. Do I need to see a stream of photos of someone's vacation in Hawaii or Nassau? People showing off their adventures, living better than me? People showing off their hardcore training? That's why I quit facebook twenty years ago.

How so? You could enter the same content into Strava instead of your tree-killing running log.

Agree. These paper loggers are killing entire forests. They probably write their grocery lists on paper too.
I find a standard calendar on the fridge is super convenient. Already has each week in a row and a perfect sized box for each days' brief notes. I like to total up the mileage each week in the margin. Gives me weekly totals at a glance and easy to go back and look at specific workouts. The entirety of last years training easily fits into a drawer for occasional reference when needed.

I only source my paper from sustainable procuct that I personally grow on my property .

50 cents each. Best notebooks ever!
I find trainingpeaks to be fantastic both for planning and looking back, if I slow down a bit in my work I get immediate input, "hey, last year you trained at more intensity for longer distances"(you must interpret the stats yourself but it is not difficult), then I use Strava (without paying) to evaluate my run at the same course (heart rate / pace et cetera) and finally Garmin Connect for the same thing, only evaluating all runs in context to a certain distance, but the one I love and cannot live without is trainingpeaks.
Me. I have strava but don't use it. I write everything on paper
