Why you need a hand-written log and not just Strava

There’s a lot to be said about the benefits of quick and easy online logs like strava, but is it possible you’re missing out by not keeping a hand-written log as well?

Coach Ruiari and Dylan think so and in today’s episode they’re going to discuss why exactly they think hand-written logs can be such a beneficial tool to improve your running.

Some of the benefits they discuss are…

• The ability to easily flip back over years and analyze trends
• Hand-written logs by nature help you write down more thoughts and feelings and not just data so you have more insight into why you might have been running so well or so poorly.
• Especially for beginners, it can help you understand the reason behind why you’re doing things.

This is a great back and forth between the coaches and something I think every runner can get something out of. If you’re not already using a hand-written log, this will be a great listen.
