What's your favorite app for logging workouts?

[fallstoclimb]

I've been logging all my workouts for YEARS over at runningahead.com (even though I haven't ran in years!). But, I don't have a functioning computer at home, and the mobile site is a pain to use. I'm looking for an app-based alternative.

I do use Strava for my road rides, but not my commute. I know you can manually enter activities and mark them as private, but basic Strava doesn't display weekly and monthly activity the way I would like. I'm looking for an app that is calendar-based, since my motivator is seeing how many days of the week I've been active. I also want one that allows simple reports to be run, similar to runningahead, such as weekly miles biked over the past 3 years (for example). AND ideally one that allows import of other training logs (might be asking too much here). I primarily log cycling since I keep a handwritten weightlifting journal, but it might be nice to be able to just note the days I lifted or took a long walk or whatever to help me see how many days per week I was active.

What do you all use to log workouts?

Why don't you log your commutes? If it's because you go slower, give yourself permission to do so!
I stopped using any site/app long ago, when I started getting upset with myself about my speed, even though I kept it private. What I do now is:1) everything I do on my 2 bikes is in my Garmin. I do not upload it anywhere. Obviously, the bike I use to commute has a slower average, but I also ride this bike on road rides, too.
2) I also keep a training journal that's put out by Bicyling Magazine. I log mileage, average, and route and how I felt. I also log my weight in there daily, and in the spot for cross training, I'll note any boot camp, walking, hikes.
I am glad I had this, because DH recently "accidentally" lost all of my data on my Garmin. I was able to go to my paper log and tell him exactly how many miles I had on each bike, so he could put them in.

Oh, I just don't bother to start Strava before I leave in the morning (my phone is generally at the bottom of my pannier well before I leave anyway), plus I don't want to clog up my friends feeds with it. I do currently manually enter it into my running ahead log, and may start doing that in Strava (probably just marking it as private) if I don't discover a better workout log app to use.

Honestly I only have like 5 friends on Strava so I don't know why I worry about clogging up their feeds, lol.

I'm a big fan of SportTracks desktop software. Their mobile app actually isn't out yet, but should be released within a few weeks.

I use Garminconnect but also bike journal. Bike journal is free and has monthly summaries. Also if you pay a nominal fee you can track components (chains, tires, etc).

I use cyclemeter to log my workouts. It's not free but it works well. I currently use my phone as a bike computer and it works well. I think I get less focused on my mileage and speed and focus on cadence more this way (because it helps both of the former).

I use ridewithgps. Their mobile app came out recently. My partner uses Map My Ride.

@fallstoclimb - have you tried Endomondo? It's really easy to track different kinds of activities and it's calendar based. I haven't looked into the rest, but I think you might like it.

Ooh I just checked it out and I do like it. Thanks!
