Online Running Logs

Running logs, a great tool for keeping track of your miles, the weather, how you felt, etc.  I wanted to have something that I could use that would keep my accountable to myself, give me a way to track mileage, shoe usage, and above all be FREE!

You are probably all sitting going [duh], just use a notebook, you know, old school with paper and pen and all that crap.  Well, the problem is that I know I am rather lazy about keeping up the old entries in the log book.  The solution was to find something that I could use online, that would allow me to download right from the Garmin to the log.  Did I mention I wanted it to be FREE?

I found one site, not sure where I got the ink from, but nevertheless it made its way into my list of bookmarks.  Originally called, http://www.runsaturday.com it soon was renamed http://www.runningfreeonline.com

The site is in Europe somewhere, but has a lot of athletes from around the world.  The feature I like best is the automatic download of the data from the Garmin to the site.  In addition, you can crank in your training plan and each week, you will receive a report via e-mail on what you did, and how it compares to the plan you entered.

After loading your data, you have the option of sharing it to your various social media outlets, I always post to Facebook, and of course get some funny responses from my FB Friends.

For a sample of one of my recent workouts, go check out the link below.
