I'm self coached, have kept a training log over the past year and haven't really had much use out of it.
I'm recording basic things like duration, distance, heart rate and effort of my workouts. Also things like sleep, energy on a 1-5 scale.
However, looking back over my log of the past few months, all that effort completing the information each day seems wasted. I never really use it for anything. If I'm feeling tired, it isn't rocket science, either training or my job is getting too much to handle or I'm not sleeping well.
I don't see how recording that I did a 1 hour easy run in zone 2 way back in June 2014 is going to benefit me for my traithlon season starting in November.
Thoughts?
