Tracking shoe mileage (Read 508 times)

plus 1 for the runningahead training log!

I am glad this question was asked.  I just signed up and started entering this year's run data into the training log.  I was thinking how it lacked a way to track shoe mileage and then i found this thread, so yay!

 

I do have an additional question though, sometimes I run in snowshoes.  Is there a way to mark a run with both the running shoes and the snowshoes?  I would like to be able to track how many miles I put on the snowshoes too.

Currently, you can track only one equipment item per run.  You would have to log the snowshoe part of your run separately from the running shoe part.

I believe Eric said he will address this in a future site update.

I put my snowshoe and traction device stuff in the comments, so I at least have a record of it, even if miles aren't accumulated. Most of my winter runs will have either snowshoes or kahtoola microspikes besides my actual shoes.

But this is one of the reasons I use either Sporttracks 3 or my own access database as my main log, so I can track that. ST3 allows multiple items of equipment. (plus some other features I like) Still playing with learning it.

I was just using Google docs and marking traction devices (I use Stabilicers) in a column, but I would still have to go back and manually add up the mileage.  That's fine, it's not a big deal.  I am really just barely scratching the surface of the functionality of the training logs on this site as it is.  I stalked your stats and I see way more colors on yours than mine  so I have a lot yet to learn.  I will keep poking around in there.

I just like to identify my several flavors of hills.   In my Access log, I separate type of terrain from intensity / goal of workout - not to mention what the surface what like that day (snow, ice, mud, whatever). I haven't kept it at that level of detail for a couple years now, owing to barely having time to run.

Heh.  It took me the longest time before I realized the RA training log also had a forum function.

And +1 to the RA training log.  Love it.

You can add the mielage directly to the equipment (snowshoes) independent of the run itself.  I do that myself to compensate tracking two or three pieces of equipment on one run.

Assuming you don't have multiple pairs (or whatever the term is) of snowshoes ...

Seriously, just one set of snowshoes?  Surely, you jest.
