Most of us have trained at one part in our lives. Chances are if you’ve ever taken your training seriously you’ve used a training journal or a training log.
The main difference between training journals and training logs, is what you document in them after apiece workout or day, etc. Training journals are just that. They are more of a journal rather than a log. They will normally include things like mental health and how you felt during the day or your workout. They can reach a bit into some statistical information but this is normally saved for a training log.
Training logs are generally created of off some kind of a template. For example. Each day you fill out a form that has the same fields. Things like current weight, regular workout, diet information, are all things that can be place in a training Log on a day to day basis.
I wouldn’t advocate going all one route or all the other, both journaling and logging are important to keep an effective history of your past. I’ve found out through experience and that for convenience intoxicant it’s nice to have two combined together in some way. This way it’s always simple to remember to do both.
