Lauren Fleshman faces a problem that plagues dedicated runners everywhere. She searches for a workout log that will actually motivate her to keep recording her training, but nothing meets her needs. The existing options fail to inspire consistency or provide the right framework for serious athletes. Together with fellow professional runner Roisin McGettigan-Dumas, Lauren decides to build the solution herself. They design the Believe Training Journal, a tool that goes beyond simple workout tracking to become what they call a secret weapon for runners. This streamlined version strips away extras to focus on core elements: planning training weeks, recording daily workouts, and maintaining focus. The journal features an undated annual calendar alongside daily and weekly running logs. Lauren and Roisin believe that few training tools rival a well-designed diary for revealing insights about performance and progress. Their creation aims to help runners of all levels discover how much growth one year can bring.
