Runner's Log

If you want to improve your running, you need to religiously use a runner's log each time you run, and you need to try and improve your time or go a little further each time.

Now I have a confession to make, I am a jogger and not a runner. I have not used a running log since I went out for track and cross country in high school. I use neither a running log or a jogger's log; however I do record my jogging every time that I go running. I simply record on a calendar when I jog. I set my goal at 3 days a week. If I run 4 days, I put it on the next weeks calendar.

The bottom line is that keeping a record of your exercise works wonders. I have been jogging now for 40 years. As a matter of fact I am in a hurry to finish this page so that I can go jogging right now. It is so much fun!

I hope this runner's chart gets you started on a life of enjoying running or at least jogging.
