Run & Bike Log
Log runs, bikes, walks and swims with distance and duration.
Overview
The Run and Bike Log captures the distance and duration of any aerobic session: running, cycling, walking, hiking, swimming, or rowing. It is built for athletes who want a single longitudinal record of training volume without committing to a closed ecosystem device or app. Type in what you did, in the units you measured it in, and the tool handles pace, speed, and totals.
Whether you are building toward a half marathon, riding a base block, swimming masters intervals, or just clocking daily walks for cardiovascular health, the log answers the two questions that matter most when reviewing a training week: how far did you go, and how long did you spend doing it.
How it works
Each session captures a date, an activity from a fixed list, a distance, a distance unit (kilometres or miles), and a duration in minutes. As you type, the form previews the pace in minutes per unit and the speed in units per hour so you can sanity-check before saving. Notes accept any free-form context such as terrain, weather, or how the legs felt.
The totals card sums sessions, total distance, and total time across the visible history. Time is rendered as hours and minutes once you cross the sixty-minute mark, so a week of long rides reads "8h 42m" instead of an awkward 522. Each row includes its own pace chip if the session has both distance and duration, calculated using a shared helper that handles edge cases consistently across the tool.
Examples
- Marathon build: log every long run with notes on fuelling and shoes to identify what works as race day approaches.
- Mixed-modality week: log Monday's swim, Wednesday's bike, and Saturday's run together to see total training time across disciplines.
- Walking habit: log a daily walk to track whether the cumulative distance is moving in the right direction over a month.
- Recovery audit: review pace creep across a block to spot whether sessions are getting harder or easier at the same perceived effort.
FAQ
Can I switch between kilometres and miles? Yes. The distance unit is per-row, so an imperial-units race and a metric-units training session live side by side. Totals sum within the unit shown on each entry.
How is pace formatted? Pace is shown as minutes-and-seconds per unit, derived from total minutes divided by distance and rendered with rounded seconds.
Is there GPS or live tracking? No. The log is a curation layer for sessions you have already completed. If your watch or phone produced the numbers, type them in.
What activities does the activity list cover? Run, Bike, Walk, Hike, Swim, and Row are the supported options at present. Pick the closest match and use the notes field if you need to record a sub-discipline such as trail running or open-water swimming.
