Tom De Marco stated, "You can't control what you can't measure", and there is some truth to that for running. Being able to look back on your training history can be valuable. It can inspire you with how far you’ve come, explain a problem you are having (done too much or not enough) or simply allow you to compare one time period with another. Another valuable aspect of recording your training is to share it with others. This sharing forms an important part of your social support network for running. It can provide inspiration and motivation, as well as allow others to give you advice.
== 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.
* [[Dailymile]] - This is a great web site and is my top pick. You can use this site as your only training log, or combine it with something with more sophisticated analytics. I use this is the web site in conjunction with [[Polar ProTrainer]]
== Good Logging, Poor Social ==
If you use these options, I would recommend double entering your workouts with Dailymile.com
== 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.
* [[SportTracksPolar ProTrainer]] - Focused on GPS devicesThe best software for Polar users, with good and some of the best reporting and analytics but limited social networking. Interface a little confusing, but lots of plugins to add functionality. Seems immature, with potentialI have found.
== Two Thumbs Down ==
