Well I finally took the plunge and joined our local athletics club who are only 1/4 mile away from where I live. Could anybody provide me some tips on how to record in my training log the different types of track work I will be doing?

Tonight being the first we spent 40 mins doing Partleks which was run half the track (200m) tag your partner who carried on the other 200m whilst you make your way across the infield where you met him then he tags you and off you go again. We managed 22 1/2 laps each.

There are lots of other types of trackwork and I can not find an easy way to log them as a run.

P.S. Louise is their anything in development that may be considered probably just as some basic recording?

Thanks

Hi Derek

I'm glad you took the plunge and joined your local club - from my experience joining a club is great motivation and there is usually a wealth of information amongst the members! 

I suggest you record your all your fast track work under the run type ' Intervals/Fartlek' and then all your speedwork will be analysed together on the graphs and stats .  There are many different names given for various types of speedwork but basically Intervals/Fartlek is the section to put it under.  If you are doing more than one different run type in a session then you can slect 'multi-part' run - this then takes you to another form where you can break it down into as many sections as you want e.g. easy running 10 minutes, Intervals/Fartlek 10 minutes etc. - you can also summarise the type of track work in the notes section.

If you are timing laps then can enter these by clicking on the 'log laps/splits' on the main log a run form.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Louise I shall have a go at that tonight as there's nothing on the box.
