I just broke open my new 2024 fitness diary! And a blank diary is so magical!I used to be an avid diary writer until my thirties, than stopped and only picked it up again once I started running, walking and rowing in my 50s. But I’m enjoying it again, and the diary is rather a fitness and health-journey notebook where I track what I’ve been doing, and what impact it has had.
It gives me also a focus on contemplating my next steps, whether it is a training plan, considering my food and nutrient intake or tracking my health journey. And any ideas for next walks get listed in a specific section, so I don’t forget!
So how is everyone else planning their next walking steps?

I "write" write with a magnificent ink pen, currently in one of two notebooks, depending which book I'm working on. I have a few other really good pens, but yes, you are right: I may dedicate one to this diary!
Oh dear. Hope it passes! Are you both on this years 1000 mile challenge? I didn’t sign up this year, but need to seek some motivating new targets to aim for.
I LOVE this CBDB! I might try it too, and thank you for showing us how you use yours.I used diaries until I stopped work, but I can see now that it would still be useful.
Yes, I fear I’ve gotten into the habit of getting me one of those fancy planners that have sections for the week, for the month and then 3 months goals.
I used to think them naff or only for young people who still could use some guidance for planning and dreaming ahead.
But they make excellent fitness / health journey diaries. And even at our age, we can dream! 😊😃
This has got me thinking about what I do! I love a diary but I only write runs (or occasionally other workouts) I’ve done in it. I often have plans on spreadsheets or printed bits of paper for ticking off. I don’t like the pressure of having runs written in a diary ahead of time in case I decide to reschedule them.
Gthants now’s a great time to buy a diary…they’ll all be on sale!
Yeah. I also use them rather to note what I’ve done, but also keep note of my current quests or challenges.
So I also do not set down on which days I run, rather note when I have run them. I sometimes can spot a pattern. (For instance, I regularly run on the weekend but I predominantly run on Sundays, rather than Saturdays)
I try to do over 5k steps a day as I am doing the landsend to John o groats challenge on Conqueror.. Really lovely postcards and attractions so far... I am learning and walking...I love to listen to books while I walk too
