Discussion: Logging

Key is to be consistent over time otherwise it is hard to compare. I would personally never log biking to the store and things like that. (Over the years at AP I have seen many oers kind of complaining or wondering why they are not better although that train a lot. A closer look at some of those logs show that the training consisted of bike commuting to work/school and a long hike on the weekend.)

You should however note events/activities that may have an impact on your training and racing and that could include running around doing many errands, up all night studying or partying, long travel etc.

Patrick Goeres told me once that his rule about AP logging was that if he changed into workout clothes to do it it counted as training.

I agree with Hans that consistency is the most important.

What Patrick said is my rule as well. Perhaps he picked that up living in Hamilton...:-)

Thanks, I think I’ll just end up noting cycling. It’s hard to draw the line between what is worthy of logging and what not in terms of cycling. Cycling is also a fairly easy way to run up your hours trained and mislead the total, so I’ll just maybe add a note of km/time cycled to events.

If I had logged all my work commuting by bike I would probably be ahead of Sudden in hours 'trained' since 2002. ;-)

That said I do log lumberjack core now but Anvil says it is pretty similar to cross fit without the weird workout names.

Cycling is a good way to loosen up the legs after a big run in a low impact way.
