At some point in our lives, most of us have trained. If you have ever taken your training seriously, you probably have used a training journal or log.
The main difference between training journals and training logs is what you write in them after each workout, day, etc. These are all that training journals are. They're more like a diary than a log. They will usually ask about your mental health, how you felt during the day, and how you worked out. They can get a little bit of statistical information, but usually this is kept in a training log.
Most training logs are made by following some kind of template. In one case. You have to fill out the same form every day. A training Log can be used every day to keep track of things like your current weight, your daily workout, and your diet.
I wouldn't suggest doing only one or the other. Both journaling and logging are important ways to keep a good record of your past. I've learned through experience that it's nice to have two things that can be used together in some way. So, it will be easy to always remember to do both.
Benefits of keeping a record of your trainingBR>
The most important reason to keep a record of your training is so you can look back at it. This can be very helpful when making plans. For instance, to find out what has worked and what hasn't for you. It's a great way to figure out what caused an injury or why you're tired.
Have you ever tried to plan a training session when you had nothing to go on? If you have a detailed record of what you've done over the past few weeks, it's easy to plan ahead and do things like increase the intensity of your workouts to get better in the future.
It's also nice to have a detailed journal for personal use and to be able to look back over the months and years to remember different stories.
