A birthday gift: online workout log via masterstrack.com
 |
It’s my party, and I’ll pry if I want to. Do you keep a training diary? Do you do it on paper or via computer? Well, yesterday was my 54th birthday, and I’m offering you a present: Record your workouts and share the info via a new Web service with a familiar logo: masterstrack.com. Check out this great new tool. I didn’t create the site (Chris Dellinger of Fitness Partners did.) But I’ve agreed to partner with Chris, since this is really cool: a free online training diary that never gets lost or eaten by the dog. Chris wrote me: “Originally (back in 1998) we created an online fitness training log for the members of our site, but starting in early 2008 we started offering our features to other websites free of charge. I found your site via the StumbleUpon service and thought that our services might make for an interesting partnership between our sites.”
He listed his services:
* Multi-sport training log (running, biking, swimming, weight lifting, aerobics, etc.)
* Training Calendar (monthly view of all past and upcoming workouts)
* Ability for members to create personal fitness goals and to challenge others to these goals
* Progress reporting for each user
* User Management (membership tracking)
* Upcoming Events Management
Chris makes money from the Google adsense ads posted on the site (like the ones I have). I checked out his log, and it looked sophisticated but easy to use. So now it’s yours to try.
Over time, if the demand exists, we can add more tools to the site. Let me know what you think!
Here are some sample log pages (without the blanks filled in):

A birthday gift to us all: Toronto 1975 results
We’re a month early, but this gift couldn’t wait. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first World Masters Track & Field Championships — held Aug. 11-17, 1975, in Toronto, Canada — I’ve created two PDF files of the original 6 1/4-inch-by-8 1/2-inch results book. The first file is only an image of the book (about 40 pages’ worth). The second file funkily evokes the typeface of the original — but is searchable. You do Ctrl-F (or Apple-F with a Mac) and type in a name or event, and all instances of that keyword are shown.
