OK folks, exercise time … I am just Type-A enough to keep a training log, and lazy enough to do it online and want it to be simple but to do the calculations for me (like running paces, 100 swim split times, etc.). I used to use the log at Beginner Triathlete, but it is WAY over-the-top more detailed than I am ever likely to use. Their discussion forums and articles are great, though.
Navigating all of their options was not working for me, so I switched to Daily Mile. Nice, clean interface, great visual display of my training record for the week, can scroll through past months … but the online community there just isn’t my vibe. Not bad, just not my thing.
I also have a profile on athlinks, which is really cool because it pulls in your race results for as far back as I’ve got online race results. They have a little box on your profile called “WDYDT” for “what did you do today?”, and that’s meant to be a quick note on your training that day. For me, this is not detailed enough, and does not provide enough pre-programmed data analysis.
In other dimensions I am indifferent among the three.
Do you know of/use/recommend any other online training log? Do you have opinions about these? I am keen to hear some other opinions than my own.
