Even if you have benefited from the advice of running experts, you can gain even more knowledge by keeping and studying your own personal running record.
Inside this handy diary, Runner′s World provides the outline. You fill in the facts about each day′s run, such as your pace, the distance you ran, your pulse rate, and weather conditions.

In addition to a useful format and generous space for charting an entire year′s running, the Runner′s World Training Diary also includes:
Charts to record racing results, best times, and a year′s running at a glance
Tables listing pacing rates, wind–chill readings, and metric distance conversions
Warm–up exercises and valuable running hints
A helpful table showing the caloric cost of running
Pages for training records, schedule planning, and much more!

Format:Spiral-bound
This is a non-dated (it has no months or dates) spiral-bound notebook with enough space for recording 1 year's worth of entries for tracking your runs. All runners should keep a log of their runs and record such things as weather, distance, pace, day, clothing, route, and general comments with a weekly summary. This book allows you to do that, and also provides you with inspirational phrases and quotes and tips for improving your run and avoiding injuries. Because it's spiral-bound, you can lay it flat on a desk and write with one hand while the other hand holds a banana or sports drink. I've only see one other log that's as good as this one - John Cronin's log book which contains more photos, which aid in positive imaging for those who know sports psychology.
This is my first log and I've been running consistently for 9 months, but only started keeping a log last month. Already I can look back at last month's times and routes and see an improvement. If I didn't have a log, I'd never have picked up on some of the smaller details of my old runs.

Format:Spiral-bound
This diary or running log is the sort of "tool" which we have lately lost thanks to such things as computer logs etc. The diary/log is packed with information and enough space to record everthing about your running, training and races. No need to switch on a computer and waste precious time looking at a screen, you can read and re-read what you've done and how you've run while eating your after run snack instead of finding yourself needlessly checking e mails and the like. The sitting down and writing up is almost a cool down in itself with the chance to be as poetic or creative as you want to be; it becomes a journal to hold, to keep and to mull over as the days and years go by; comparing it to computer logs is like comparing running on a treadmill and running outside in the elements, with the sun shining or the rain cooling.. this diary keeps you in touch with the runner you become.

Format:Spiral-bound
The first problem I had with the Runner's World Training diary is that it is shoddily made. The cover is very thin card: this, coupled with the spiral binding, makes for a book that is going to fall apart quite soon. Spiral binding is useful, but it needs a tougher cover.
The second problem is that all the information in the back is taken from books written in the seventies. Yes, I know that the essentials don't really change, but given the vast amounts of research that has happened over the last 30 years, I expected something a little more up-to-date! I do not expect to be told that I should only attempt a half marathon race if I'm running 35 miles a week, or (on another page) 40 mins a day - crazy! I've just run a half marathon on a lot less than that, and got my training schedule from the Runner's World website.
The stretching section lists a few stretches and exercises for injury prevention. Like the rest of the book, it's a bit shonky, with grainy black and white photos of some bloke in 70s nylon slacks doing the stretches. Some of the stretches and exercises are not in line with current advice on preventing back strain.
The dateless format is obviously a good thing as you can start it whenever you like.
It's just really poor value for money. You could easily print off the diary format on the computer or just write it in a more durable notebook. If it's advice you want, stick to using the Runner's World website and magazine. I'm disappointed because I expected something better from Runner's World.
