If youâre looking to take your running to the next level, strategic use of a training log can help you get there. Using a journal to collect your thoughts, plan your goals, and analyze your short and long-term training can provide unique insights to improve as a runner.
With that in mind, this week's podcast is a special edition to introduce something I have been working on over the past nine months. Strength Running's own running log - The Performance Training Journal - is now available!
The power of reflection is real. While an electronic log on Strava can store your mileage and splits, it doesnât encourage any interaction or reflection. There is little opportunity for growth. While a pencil and paper log may sound archaic these days, the simple act of writing and reflecting has more power to improve your running than any app.
If you arenât logging the details of your training, youâre missing an opportunity for improvement. This edition of the podcast is meant to help you understand the value of a journal and learn how the Performance Training Journal has been created and refined to help you get the most from your running.
Youâll learn how our journal can help you...
- Focus on the most useful training metrics
- Approach your training to continue improving
- Gain a better understanding of your bodyâs capabilities and limitations
- Find confidence leading into a key event
- Learn about strength training, injury prevention, race planning and more
Get started with the Performance Training Journal today!

Thank You Gold Coast Marathon
Weâre supported by the Gold Coast Marathon which takes place in Queensland, Australia on July 2nd, 2023. Get yourself a memory of a lifetime and commit to this amazing destination race in one of the most beautiful countries that Iâve ever visited. You can run the marathon or any distance down to 5k, but the marathon course is flat and fast with only 75 meters of elevation gain. Over 60% of finishers self-report a PR at the end of the race.
I spent 6 weeks in Australia, with one of them being in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. The beaches are stunning, the people are friendly, and the natural environment of this region is so beautiful. If I could go back there and run this race with you, I would in a heartbeat.
The Gold Coast Marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and this will be the 43rd running of it. Get yourself that shiny new PR on a fast course - with a destination race youâre going to love, at the Gold Coast Marathon on July 2nd. Learn more here, but donât wait because early bird pricing ends on April 28th.
