Hey gals,
I'm interested in how all of you keep track of your miles and progress . . I'm a big fan of training journals but now that I'm doing more riding than running, my old methods don't seem to be working. What do all of you do? Are you as crazy as I am about documenting your progress? Or NOT !!
Thanks!
Susan
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Yes, I have become completely OCD about tracking my progress!!!
Right now I'm just scribbling all over a calendar to track what I do each day. But I think this weekend I'm going to create a really good Excel spreadsheet. Then I can automatically total mileage up with formulas and make everything line up all pretty too!
I use bikejournal.com. I just started adding my other activities with no miles.

I use MapMyRide

2009 Jamis Aurora/Brooks B-68
2010 Trek FX 7.6 WSD/stock bontrager
I also use bikejournal.com, it's very configurable.
I use Bikejournal too. It's definitely the best for biking alone. beginnertriathlete.com let's you strack cycling and running.

i've started using mapmyrun.com over routeslip.com. I'm not really sure I made the switch but it has been working out. But for mapping out my rides I wish there was an easier way to edit.
If you decide to joing bikejournal, be sure to choose our team (teamestrogen!) and you can watch your progress relative to the other gals here, and help us out in the 'standings'. Kind of fun, as you ride you can watch yourself 'pass' other gals on this board, etc. Adds an element of fun beyond the simple tracking functions.
I use trainingpeaks.com to track my training. It's a monthly or yearly subscription but I swear by it because I can log in on any computer and add, delete, modify my workouts. It has a bunch of really useful features that I use to track the progress of my training.
Otherwise....I'm a big fan of the excel spreadsheet.
I track in 3 places!![]()
I track all my activity at the site where I also track my nutrition and weight. I track all activity where I wear my HRM on my polar software. And I also log my miles at bikejournal.com.
I wish I had the perfect place to record everything all in one place, but I haven't found it yet. It may be time for me to create such a place!

Hey,
Depending on how you track your nutrition and if you download a file from your HRM to the computer than upload from your computer to a website.....trainingpeaks.com has all of those features. You can log your miles - keeps track of the mileage for the day and week. You can also create a number of training graphs (e.g. training time per week, training distance per week, time in HR zones per week, etc) and you can choose the time periods you want to view. If you have a file from your HRM, you can upload it directly into the website and it breaks it out into EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know automatically. They also have a nutrition section on the site for you to input all of that stuff.
Just thought I'd offer. I love the site and it's pretty easy to use. The best part is that you have everything there in one place right in front of you. You can always give the free trial period a try.![]()
