Changes to the Training Log, Keeping Your PII Safe

Getting to Work: Small Groups are the New Norm

We are off and running, starting the conditioning phase of getting back into cross country shape. At Sunday's meeting, we shared a document that you are to be using to log your summer work. Some of you have started, others have yet to document your work. ALL need to use this component of our summer training. 

We spoke to the power of keeping track of your miles, as well as other Personal Identifiable Information (PII) related to your morning temperature, diet habits, how you're feeling physically, and more. The journal is very complete, but it is also rich in detail that should be kept more personal. The coaches have made an adjustment to the journal to protect your PII. Moving forward, we would like you to do the following:

1. Continue to log your mileage on the SUMMER MILEAGE LOG. You won't be able to add the other details related to your Personal Identifiable Information. Beginning today, you can use the Personal Training Log (what the original looks like, but with sleep component added to it). This Personal Training Log is found in the upper right corner of the blog, with the other summer training links.

2. Open the Personal Training Log and go to FILE >> MAKE A COPY. You should then have access to a similar document, and have the power to log your other personal identifiable information, but keep it just for you. Put your name on it, and it will be your decision if you'd like to share it with the coaches. (Coach Clarey's email is 10965@kaneland.org, Coach Baron's email is 10021@kaneland.org)

3. The PII will no longer be included on the Summer Mileage Log. Coach Clarey deleted the data fields for it. You SHOULD continue to log your miles on it, so that coaches can keep track of that data to make sure you're on target for the next steps in our training. To those who logged Monday already, please add it in again on the new version of the Summer Mileage Log. Same place, one more time.

As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Clarey or Coach Baron. Thank you for your patience with these new steps. The goal is to keep you healthy, allow you the chance to reflect on what you're doing in your training and seeing positive patterns for how you feel -- relative to your training and all other important components. Most of all, your privacy in some of those key details needs to be maintained, and giving you power to keep it exclusive is absolutely necessary.
