Training Calendar

 I like to keep a running calendar of my workouts/plans for future workouts.  It makes it easier to keep track of what I've done and make sure I am keeping up with my goals. I like to find a printable calendar online such as THIS awesome one from The Elli Blog.

I work with one month at a time starting with notes in the corner of each day with my work schedule and making sure to write down special events or busy days. I made a list of every exercise I like to do and the equipment at my disposal. Then I decide which days are good for running (3-4 times a week) and how far/how long I'd like to run that day. I fill in 2 weeks at a time with my running days and fill in the others with alternate exercises (weights, bike, cardio, etc) and the occasional rest day.

I check them off as I complete them and edit as I need to. Then as I finish workouts I plan the future days I haven't filled in yet with things I need to work on or more challenging exercises if I'm getting better.

These particular printable calendars also have a very helpful "notes" section on the side that I use to keep track of my weight on the first and last days of the month, goals and notes on things I'd like to try.
