How is the training diary completed?

• A. Completed the training diary immediately. completed what I did in the session, completed my next steps and then set my target for the next session
• B. Record only what I did in the session
• C. Record only my next steps
• D. Record only the target for the next session

Answer: (A)

A training diary should capture three things in one entry: what was done in the session, what needs to be done next (the next steps), and a clear target for the next session. Recording all three immediately after training gives a complete, actionable record—you know exactly what you did, what to focus on next, and the goal you’re aiming for next time. This supports accurate reflection, informs future planning, and keeps progression visible over time. If you only record what happened, you miss the plan for improvement and the future steps. If you only record the next steps, you don’t have a record of what was actually completed. If you only record the target, you lack context about what actions were taken to reach it.
