Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Grading system version 1After thinking up a bunch of more complicated ideas I decided to start simple.For any workout, the score is 0-5 points. Give the session 1 point if it is a run. If it is a hilly run, add a point. If it is in the forest, add a point. If it is fast, add a point. If it involves navigation, add a point. If the workout was not running, it gets one point (but no more). If you take a day off, but trained at least the previous two days, that day is worth a point (i.e. an earned day off is a point). Here are my last few days: Sunday - 70 minutes at an easy jog, hilly trails, carrying the map and reading it some of the time. That's 3 points (1 for a run + 1 for hills + 1 for some navigation). Monday - a day off. Since I ran on Saturday, I get 1 point for an "earned rest." Tuesday - 30 minutes with 6 x 400 meters of intervals on a flat trail. That's 2 points. Wednesday - 50 minutes easy on a flat trail. That's 1 point. I'll play around with this simple system a bit and see what, if anything, I learn.

Can you exchange points for things you want? For instance, if you earn 21 points in one week, could you use them towards a fish burrito?

I think that according to your system, I only earn points for days off these days. :)

this system is very interesting because it's so simple.
just one thing though : add 1 for long training (depending on what long is for you : let's say > 2h30 for instance). I'll try it and keep you posted about my impressions.
I'm using a similar sistem to motivate young athlets for training- it works!!! And good prices is the key...:)

Can u make a system where this is syncronized with food? Fex if you have less than 2 points your not allowed to eat dinner. You need at least 4 points for a day to eat anything with sugat (juice, choclate, candy, sportsdrink...)
It would also be great with a rankingsystem. A site we can log in and register earned points. WorldRanking and so on;) # posted by

More points for variation in a week. Running one hill session, one sprint and one race in each of three weeks should earn more points than 3 hill sessions the first week, three sprints the second and three races the third.
