Set your race and I'll count you down — and tell you which training phase you should be in right now. Saves on this device, so it's here every time you come back.
The simplest log that actually works: what you did, how it felt, and whether you could talk. No pace column on purpose — effort and consistency are what matter in midlife. Saves on this device automatically.
| Day | What I did | Minutes | Could I talk? | How it felt |
