Holy crap! I've got one rinky-dink little spreadsheet. This will take me the rest of the week to study! (You're like my oracle and s***.)
Yea my "Running Record Book" excel sheet just keeps expanding. We've got:
Records - every race I've ever run. The time, placement (total, gender, and division place/percentage), and goal before the race. Including Top 5 at every distance. And a track of my times in half and fulls over time to measure progress. Plus a breakdown of personal running PRs in weekly mileage, monthly mileage, yearly mileage, time spent training, and lifetime mileage.
Upcoming Races - dates, prices, when they go on sale and when price increases are.
Old Training Plans - dating back to Jan 2014, every prescribed run and pace
Bucket List - Every race domestic and international that I have an interest in, including the time of the year it is held, whether it's a lottery, qualifying times, and my proposed year of doing it.
Current Training Plan - where I break down the upcoming custom plan (that is what is detailed in the link to my journal)
Hansons - a breakdown of their Beg and Advanced Plans, attempts to figure out their methods in designing these plans, and dissecting Luke Humphrey's plan at the back of the book (the basis for my current plan).
Caloric Race Needs - a calculator based excel sheet that based on input of gender, weight, and VO2max can state expected finishing times for half/full and the necessary carb strategy (calculator made using data from Hansons and Ben Rapport's scientific paper), also calculate needs for carb loading and an estimate on when someone would hit the wall based on planned carb consumption.
Nutritional Diet - breakdown of my daily needs dietarily and how I plan to meet them
Progress - using heart rate data and pacing I developed a personal calculator to make predictions on my current fitness state and reasonable expectations for upcoming races.
Pacing - a breakdown of the Hansons suggested training paces into a calculator form to make more accurate suggestions on training paces. Type in a 5K, 10K, half, or full and it spits out the suggested training paces.
Custom Training for others - several training plans I've custom made for co-workers and people on here looking for something different than a standard plan.
I'm a data guy.
