Benchmarks
I’ve decided to put all my training “accomplishments” in one place so that I have easy access to it.
I have a diary (yep paper – I’m old school) that I carry around with my gym kit and I am fastidious about noting all my strength training but I’ll only occasionally scrawl down my time or score on benchmark Friday and I basically never note a time/score during routine classes.
People often recommend “this app” or “that app” to keep track of my progress, but honestly I’ve looked at a few and then promptly put it in the too hard basket AND most companies make you pay for their apps, I’m way to cheap for that 😉
So I’ve decided that this is as good a place as any to note my benchmarks
