Re: [RC] Training Log - jan mutchlerI obsess with my training log, too. It helps to be a type A, obsessive-compulsive when keeping a training log. I have a zippered binder that is divided into sections. The first section are the calendars - two pages per month so the blocks are big enough for detailed notes about length of trail, degree of difficulty of trail, temperature, heartrates, etc. and I total my weekly mileages. Then I have a "farrier" section for notes, a "vaccinations" section, "worming" section, "dental" section, and "misc vet" section. I also have a section where I keep all my membership cards, plastic pages to put copy of reg certificates and coggins and vet certs in. Then, when I go to a ride, I just toss the binder into the truck and I have all my stuff with me. I LOVE details. :>) Jan Mutchler ---- Karen Sullivan <greymare56@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I am obsessed with my training log! I used to buy those wonderful ones Steph made up (hint hint).....when she was producing them But the last several years I just buy a yearly calendar book from Dollar Tree (appt. book), that has a small lined paragraph for each day.....at top I put which horses ridden, how far, time spend, and whatever notes. I total each week Sunday night at bottom of page (horse, # of rides, miles), to a total end of month.....and yearly total. I look back, and if I have done too many miles one week on a younger horse, I back off for the next week. This is essential I feel...to be able to look back and see how many rides that month....so I can keep consistency, etc.not under do or over do it. I also like to compare it to other horses at the same age, same month the previous year, etc. I also find a page for shoeing, vet, and my hay buying, plus injuries. It's not that pretty, but sure works well!!! It's my nightly ritual right before bed to update the log. I find my friends who don't do this...often are surprised how little, or how much they actually ride their horses. Karen, off to ride Coyote this morning on ride # 81 for the year (4 year old horse, many, many slow, calm rides this year; LSD) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Celeste" <celestem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 3:56 AM Subject: [RC] Training Log How many of you keep a training log? Also if so what do you keep track of? Would someone be willing to share a logbook they drew up for themselves. I want to keep a training log but have given up trying with MS word and Excel! I just don't know where to start. Celeste =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
