Training Log

Everyone on the team is expected to maintain a training log during off-season training and over the course of the season. A training log should be a representation of all of your training activity throughout the year. The coaches use these logs to make sure the training volume is appropriate and athletes are not over-training.

Athletes should make a copy of the training log template in their own drive, rename the file to include their name, upload it to their google drive account and share it with [email protected].  If they do this, they will receive 5 points towards earning a JV/Varsity letter.

Please contact a coach if you have any questions.

*Your Strava account does not count as a training log

Perceived Intensity Level

This training log asks you to rate how hard you thought your workout was on a scale of 1-10. You should think about this 20-30min after the completion of your workout and cool down. This is a qualitative way to look at how you are perceiving your workouts, your mental state, and your overall training load. This is similar to how we break down workouts into levels 1-5, but it's a little more granular and is not necessarily linked to heart rate zones. It is all about how you felt during the workout.
RPE Scale
  • 1-2: Recovery effort/very low stress
  • 3-4: Easy effort/low stress
  • 5-6: Easy to moderate effort
  • 7: Moderate effort
  • 8: Moderate/hard effort
  • 9: Hard effort/high fatigue
  • 10: Maximal effort

Canadian Strength Test

Throughout the year, the team completes the Canadian Strength Test to gauge athlete fitness and to determine whether the athletes have made progress since their last test.

JV/Varsity Letter Log

To determine JV and Varsity letters, we use a points system. Athletes can earn points for coming to practice, participating in races, volunteering and they can earn extra points for doing well in races.
