Training and Session Log

A free printable training log — sets, reps, distance, weight, effort and how it felt, one line per exercise, with space for niggles.

First page of the Training and Session Log — Record what you actually did in each session, so progress over a block is something you can look at rather than something you try to remember.

What this sheet is for

Record what you actually did in each session, so progress over a block is something you can look at rather than something you try to remember.

Who it is for

Anyone training on their own — gym, running, cycling, swimming, climbing — and anyone following a programme written by someone else.

How to use it

  1. Fill it in between sets, not afterwards. Written later it is a guess.
  2. Use your own effort scale and note at the top what it is.
  3. Record how it felt as well as what you lifted — that column explains the bad weeks.
  4. Note niggles at the bottom. A pattern is only visible in writing.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A record of what you actually did in each session — the sets, the distances, the weights and how it felt — so progress is visible rather than remembered.

A record, not a programme. This sheet suggests no programme, no weights, no distances and no rest periods. It records what you did. What you should be doing comes from you or your coach, and nothing here is training or medical advice.

Write-on lines: Name · Week or block · Goal for this block · Effort scale used

Sessions — effort in whatever scale you named above

Table, 9 rows: Date · Session · Exercise or activity · Sets · Reps or distance · Weight or pace · Rest · Effort · How it felt

Ruled lines: Injuries, niggles and anything you changed

Questions

Does this sheet include a programme?

No, deliberately. It suggests no exercises, weights, distances or rest periods. What you should be doing comes from you or your coach; this records what you did. Nothing here is training or medical advice.

Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
