Summary: An incredibly useful logbook
Comment: I liked the old Penguin Brigade Training Log a lot, but this new 2nd Edition is even better. It has space to record your basic training details -- where you ran and how far -- but also space to record the weather, your diet, heart-rate, cross-training, sleep hours, weight, and mood. It tracks your goals on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis. I like the new I-Rate system of rating your personal effort separate from the objective measures of mileage.
It keeps me focused and inspired every day, without fail. The new photos are beautiful, too. Really nice package.

Summary: A Disappointment at Best
Comment: I ordered this in a package deal along with "The Courage to Start". I am enjoying the book but the Training Log could be much more practically oriented without sacrificing the motivational advice for new adult athletes. The entry slots are small, though I do give the author credit for organizing them on a week by week format. The log's organization is limited by the two questions: what did you do? and how did it feel? Questions or entry slots which gave more guidance or were more specific would be a great addition. (What are your running goals? how many days/weeks/months till you plan to achieve that goal? Weather conditions? Pace? Areas for improvement? etc.)
I found the advice included in the essays to be pretty limited, nothing more, and probably less, than what you get when you surf the web for running info. What's more, the quality of the pictures are really amateur. It's great that there's something out there for us "adult onset athletes" who run for the joy of it. It would be nice if the log book were truly inspirational instead of looking like something that your next door neighbor put together for the local running club.

Summary: waddle he think up next?
Comment: This is the ONLY running log I have ever kept consistently, and I have discarded many others, too many to count. Bingham's font is large enough for older eyes to easily read; he allows you to chart your miles both weekly and yearly; and the pictures show real-life, real-looking people, not some bronzed babe in tight running regalia who probably never runs any farther than the distance to her hairbrush and makeup. Bingham knows the true penguin runner, and he hath delivered unto us a usable journal, amen!
