Quoted message said:I as I trying to modestly ramp up my running, to run for higher speeds
and longer distances, I would like to know if any of you use any free
methods of tracking performance and progress (or lack thereof). Any
suggestions for spreadsheet type solutions? Maybe there is some
freeware or some such that I could use? A linux based programwould be
preferred. Thanks...i
I use Excel sheet I made myself.
Aside from races (the ultimate measure of performance), I do frequent
"field" tests. For instance, I do a 6 minute all out run. The farther I
go, the faster I am getting. I also use this data to set training
intensities. I also use my regular lactate threshold runs as a good check
on fitness.
There are numerous websites that allow free logging of training. I just
found them to be more trouble for me than they were worth.
