Does anybody keep a record of all their training sessions?
I've had an Excel spreadsheet since the beginning of 1999 where I record everything from morning resting heart rate, time, distance, average HR for the ride and even route cycled. It's really motivating because it shows periods where you've been really slack. And if I look back at the last few months I can see exactly why I feel so good on the bike these days.
It really allows you to plot your progress and even see how your restingHR keeps dropping (or increasing) from month to month. Even down to noticing how it increases a few days before you start to get sick.
I find it invaluable as a training tool.
