OK, total newbie here, first post.
I did my first Iron Man (Couer d'Alene) this year, and while I'm happy I finished, I know that to get faster will mean a lot more planning and tracking of my workouts - and possibly recording meals and a lot more things.
I'd love to hear from some of the really experienced people out there about what you track and what are the most important things are to track - like, what tracking led to the biggest gains?
My training log was super simple - a big dry erase calendar where I just drew a colored square representing what I did that day (swim/bike/run/weights).
Also, does anyone out there track physiology? Like general health or lab test results? Is that even a thing?
