Minks Jan 2013 2:10pm, 31 Jan 2013 4 posts	0 Minks Can we please have a category of "Running - Easy" as one of the options in the training log? I get fed up with having to record all my easy sessions as 'General', and an easy run is not the same as a recovery run!

If it were something else, like a long run, tempo run, intervals etc, you'd log it as such. As KB says, there is RR for RRs. One could argue for a Run - Junk Miles option I guess. That's all I seem to be running atm.

Not often but they happen. I'd rather use recovery run for the intervals between workbouts of an interavals or reps session.

rf_fozzy Jan 2013 4:47pm, 31 Jan 2013 4,293 posts	0 rf_fozzy Sorry - still don't see the point. A general run is a general run, which usually means easy? If it was hard work, then it would be a tempo run or MP or something similar? What do you use General run for if not a General, easy run?
