I have been updating my training log using the data I download from my Polar Heart Rate monitors. I now have the data entered through August 18th. In my training log I have it plot the accumulated miles, both cycling and running, compared with prior years. From the charts you can see I am biking more this year than any prior year. For running, the mileage is high but not as high as some prior years. Running has really tapered off since the Boston Marathon. Cycling is clearly becoming my dominant sport now.

This graph shows the accumulated miles this year biking compared with prior years (click graph to enlarge):

Here is a similar graph but shows the accumulated running miles this year compared with prior years (click graph to enlarge):

I have developed some formulas to attempt to equate all forms of exercise into one equivalent number, which I make miles run. Here is what the graph looks like so far this year (click to enlarge).  For more graphs visit my website at: http://www.swim2bike2run.net/train8.htm
