I've just abandoned my tried and true paper calendar for tracking my workouts, and have started using the USMS FLOG.
Does anyone know how far back one can search for historical workouts? For example, could I go back, say two or three years, and see what I did in detail for a workout then?
Gracias!
Out of curiosity I just started using my FLOG for the first time. I like it, particularly that I can track non-swimming activities as well as swims. :agree: I also signed up for GTD, even though I'm not a yardage monster by any means. Now I have over 5 years of workouts to enter into my FLOG... :afraid:
I am going to keep maintaining my own spreadsheet though. I track the amount of fly that I swim as its own stat. So this morning's unremarkable swim workout will get entered in my spreadsheet as 2500 yards, 750 fly, 53 minutes. I know I can enter the amount of fly I did in the comments field, but my spreadsheet provides statistics - day, week, month, year, etc. Since workout time isn't particularly important to me, I suppose I could enter how much fly I did in the minutes field, so it would look like I'd spent enormous amounts of time doing not very much swimming, but I would know what it all meant... and then knelson and jaadams would call me out for entering unbelievable GTD data... which would be pretty cool now that I think about it...:rolleyes:
To be clear, I realize that adding a stat for how much fly I did would be a really esoteric thing and would open up a can of worms :worms:, which is why I'm not requesting that it be added, but I'm just mentioning that this is a reason that I'll continue to use my own tracking along with the FLOG.
Are you really going to enter 5 years worth?!
I just started flogging as well as blogging. But I agree with you. As a sprinter, I'm not particularly interested in total yardage. I am more interested in tracking non-swimming activities. I'd also like to track kicking yardage and race pace yardage, but I just do that manually in the workout box instead of writing my workout down.
