TrainingPeaks
Training log and calendar shared between endurance coaches and athletes
A coach builds the week, the athlete completes it, and files from a watch or bike computer land back in the same calendar. Each session gets scored and stacked into a load chart running over months, which is what most cyclists and runners are there for. Every workout also carries a comment box, so how a session actually felt can sit beside what it measured. Logging is free; the analysis is the paid tier.

Everything from his own training goes into both Strava and TrainingPeaks, and he called TrainingPeaks his official logbook of the training record when he spoke to Ben Greenfield in 2016. One ride the day before had carried five bike head units, so he strips the duplicates out before they reach the log.

Tracking does not have to be fancy, is her line. A paper calendar and a pen will do the job, and she points at the comment box on an online training tool like TrainingPeaks as the software version of it: a note on how the session felt, kept beside the session. Reading back over months is where the pattern turns up.
