This morning I was swimming a short descend set, and thought it would be really difficult to go back through my workout logs to figure out if it was a descent effort.
What about logging just the most important part of a workout? You could setup twitter and tweet your workout creating a workout log for the technophile, or just a notebook in the car/swim bag for the technophobe. Easy to do right after practice before the important parts slip your mind.
Today I would have logged: 3x100 on 1:20 descend 1-3; 1:11 1:07 1:03
What is most important to me right now is speed 100s and 200s free, but I think the one liner concept has validity for sprinters, stroke specialists, distance, open water swimmers and fitness swimmers. Duration, pace, distance or conditions might be important depending on your log.
Do I care what my warm up was two months ago, or if I did fist drill on the 3rd 50 of a drill set? I don't think so, but this is a new idea for me. I could be missing something.
What kind of things would you log? What are the faults of this approach?
