Training Log & Performance Metrics

An honest training log with fixed fields and a two-minute entry habit, weekly and monthly summaries, effort and load numbers you understand, and block reviews that turn months of sessions into decisions.

Then open the Marketplace in the app, search for Training Log & Performance Metrics, and click Install. It goes into your own files, and works offline from then on.

Before you start: this plan is general information, not medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting a new training programme, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant or are coming back from an injury, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness or chest discomfort.

Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Choosing where your training log will live

Whether a log survives depends mostly on where it lives and how fast it opens after a session. A paper notebook is quick in a basement gym with no signal, a spreadsheet gives you charts and full control, and a training app pulls watch data in automatically but can hold your history hostage. Deciding now, with your real training week in mind, saves a painful migration later.

First tasks

  • Write down where you train and what you currently record after sessions
  • Check whether each candidate app exports your full history to CSV
  • Enter yesterday's session in two tools and time how long each takes
  • Record your choice and the reason at the top of the new log

Minimum fields for every session entry

Logs fail in two directions: so sparse that nothing can be learned from them, or so detailed that each entry takes ten minutes and logging stops after a fortnight. Settling on six to eight fixed fields, such as date, session type, main work, duration, effort, sleep and a one-line note, gives you data you can compare across months while keeping each entry under two minutes.

First tasks

  • Draft every field you might record for today's session
  • Cut the list to eight fields or fewer
  • Write the main work format for each kind of training you do
  • Save a blank entry template in your log
  • Fill in the template after each of your next five sessions

Back-filling the last eight weeks of training

Starting a log from today means waiting months before any trend appears. Most people already have eight weeks of data scattered across a watch, a gym app, messages to a training partner and their calendar, and pulling it together now gives you a first trend line within days.

First tasks

  • List every app, device and calendar holding training from the past eight weeks
  • Export or screenshot the watch history for that period
  • Enter each recovered session with date, type and duration
  • Mark any week you cannot reconstruct as unknown
  • Add up weekly totals for all eight weeks

Make it yours.

Install Training Log & Performance Metrics, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
