If you run regularly, it is important to track your running activities. It is important not only for motivation but also to see progress or regress in your abilities.

The analysis of your running activities data helps to plan the future workload and to avoid injuries.

I used RunKeeper Fitness Reports to analyse my activities data but eventually I found a simple, free and more flexible solution to get what I want. This solution is Google Docs.

Less than in an hour I have made all reports what I need.

Total distance by year for motivation and self-competition:

Total distance by month:

Total distance by week to avoid over-training and to plan future workouts:

Distance vs. speed graph to understand own possibilities:

All this is done in Google Docs. You can embed it as an interactive chart or picture. To add a new activity it's enough to set date, distance and duration. Average pace and average speed will be calculated automatically.

So, you can copy this spreadsheet here. Use it as you like.

Have any ideas? Let me know.

Good luck and good day to you!
