Find out why you should start a running training blog. Not only will it help keep you on track but it will act as a permanent reminder of everything you and your running shoes have been through.

What's a running blog?

Blogs are online logs or diaries that enable you to record any aspect of your training; your times, routes or training techniques. All this information builds a picture of how your training is progressing as well as helping you pinpointiany areas of weakness.

But, if you want to keep your blog straightforward, you can. You can use your blog to record simply how you feel during your sessions; good days, bad days or even the best post-workout treat you have discovered. That is the beauty of the blog – it’s up to you.

Another plus is the boost a blog can give you when your motivation is rock bottom and you need a kick-start to get out and complete a session – as the last thing you want is a gap in your blog showing you skived off.
