Believe Training Journal

The new Believe Training Journal was inspired…by YOU!

Authors Lauren Fleshman and Roisin McGettigan-Dumas created the Believe Training Journal to help you become the runner you were meant to be. In the new Electric Blue edition, over one hundred runners from the Believe community are featured in the colorful end sheetsbecause we train, dream, and believe in community, and the shared running experience inspires us all.

The Believe Training Journal has it all: designated grids for recording workout information as well as space to process and plan. The journal offers a full year of undated weeks, an annual calendar, worksheets, quizzes, lists, and plenty of room for notes. Lauren and Ro share their wisdom and experience on training, racing, recovery, and moreall to help you find balance in your running and to make you a better athlete.

A good running journal makes the miles make sense. Use this training tool to learn more from your runs, to dig deeper, and to join a running community that believes in you.
