Tips for Effective Logging

  1. Log immediately: Record runs right after finishing while details are fresh
  2. Be honest: Note how runs actually felt, not how you wanted them to feel
  3. Track patterns: Sleep, energy, and "feel" data reveals trends before injury
  4. Review weekly: Spend 5 minutes reviewing patterns each week
  5. Compare monthly: Look for progress and warning signs month-over-month
