I have attempted to catalog a number of the options for training logs. Below are some of the one's I've looked at, along with some that I need other user's input on.
== Recommended ==
I use SportTracks and export workouts to Dailymile for others to see. The combination works great.
* [[SportTracks]] - The best training log, with extensible functionality via plugins. This is my top recommendation for serious runners.
* [[Dailymile]] - This is my top pick for social logging. Casual runners can use this site as their only training log, or combine it with [[SportTracks]] fir more sophisticated analytics.
== Good Logging, Poor Social ==
If you use these options, I would recommend double entering your workouts with Dailymile.com
* [[Polar ProTrainer]] - The best software for Polar users, and some of the best reporting and analytics I have found.
== Looks Good ==
* [[RunningAHEAD]] - A nice site with lots of reporting options and support for Garmin GPS. It has a Facebook application and built in forums.
* [[Garmin Connect]] - Easy to use and reasonable functionality, but there are probably better options out there.
* [[Athleticore]] - A very minimalist site, focused on running groups, either eductional or other organizations.
== Two Thumbs Down ==
Things I've used and disliked.
* [[Mapmyrun]] - a very clutered site with lots of adverts (premium membership available)
* [[Garmin Training Center]] - Very crappy desktop software for Garmin GPS
* [[PolarPersonalTrainer]] - No social networking support, which is unforgivable in a web based training log
== Alternatives ==
* [[Excel Training Log]] - Create your own training log and reports.
* [[Pen and Paper Training Log]] - If you prefer the idea of pen and paper, this may work for you.
* [[Athlinks]] - Great site for finding your race results, but not really a training log
== Need More Information ==
If you are a user of any of these, please let me know and I will add in the extra details.
* [[TrainingPeaks]] - Popular site with triathletes and supports logging of nutrition as well as training.
* [[WKO Plus]] - Desktop software from TrainingPeaks.com
* [[Nike Plus]] - I've not used this, but seems very popular
