I am newish to running and although I enjoy it, I have issues with migranes etc. By keeping this training log, I am hoping to see an improvement in my condition and maybe find triggers which I can eventually avoid.
I like this diary because its simple and you can be as complex or as simple as you like (I prefer the latter).
This is a good buy for any runner at any level and I have recommended it on my WW site.

This diary or running log is the sort of "tool" which we have lately lost thanks to such things as computer logs etc. The diary/log is packed with information and enough space to record everthing about your running, training and races. No need to switch on a computer and waste precious time looking at a screen, you can read and re-read what you've done and how you've run while eating your after run snack instead of finding yourself needlessly checking e mails and the like. The sitting down and writing up is almost a cool down in itself with the chance to be as poetic or creative as you want to be; it becomes a journal to hold, to keep and to mull over as the days and years go by; comparing it to computer logs is like comparing running on a treadmill and running outside in the elements, with the sun shining or the rain cooling.. this diary keeps you in touch with the runner you become.

Very good log for tracking your progress

This is a non-dated (it has no months or dates) spiral-bound notebook with enough space for recording 1 year's worth of entries for tracking your runs. All runners should keep a log of their runs and record such things as weather, distance, pace, day, clothing, route, and general comments with a weekly summary. This book allows you to do that, and also provides you with inspirational phrases and quotes and tips for improving your run and avoiding injuries. Because it's spiral-bound, you can lay it flat on a desk and write with one hand while the other hand holds a banana or sports drink. I've only see one other log that's as good as this one - John Cronin's log book which contains more photos, which aid in positive imaging for those who know sports psychology. This is my first log and I've been running consistently for 9 months, but only started keeping a log last month. Already I can look back at last month's times and routes and see an improvement. If I didn't have a log, I'd never have picked up on some of the smaller details of my old runs.
