Frequently asked questions

Why keep a running log?
Keeping a running log is a habit shared by most committed runners, from beginners to marathoners, because it genuinely helps you improve, stay motivated and avoid injury. Recording each run — the distance, time, route and crucially how it felt — builds a picture of your training over time that's far more useful than relying on memory. The benefits: it shows your progress (seeing your distances grow or times improve over weeks is hugely motivating), it helps you train sensibly by tracking your weekly mileage so you don't increase too fast (a common cause of injury), and noting how you felt and any niggles helps you spot when you're overdoing it or need more rest. It also keeps you accountable and consistent, which matters more than anything for getting fitter. A good log captures the basics (date, distance, time) plus context (route, terrain, weather, pace) and honest notes on how the run felt and any aches. Reviewing it helps you see patterns — which sessions work, when you run best, what leads to good or bad runs. A useful reminder it reinforces: most of your running should be at an easy, conversational pace, and rest days are part of training, not time off. Whether you log on paper or an app, the act of recording and reflecting makes you a better, more consistent and healthier runner. As ever, build up gradually and see your GP if you have health concerns.
