Where to put it in the log? I do 30-45 minutes, 3 or so times a week, mostly as a surrogate for running.

Ron answered a post about this last week. I believe he said that in the new update that he would encorporate an ellipitical trainer icon.

It';s agreat workout, I think it closely mimics both running and biking in range of motion, excertion, muscle use and of course gets
the heart rate up there w/o impact.

Definitely agree. Actually, what I use is called a Freerunner, made by Stairmaster, although they have discontinued it. IMHO, it more closely mimics running, utilizing a more natural stride, emphasizing the hammies and hip flexors, and giving you something to do with your hands as well.

actually, from this reminder post, i have thought of a cooler way to put up sports-stuff other than how we do it now while including some icons...so, we will have it listed under sports for next update coming in a few weeks.

I also add my elliptical trainer time under running - seems fair.....

I've been using the ET for about 5 weeks now and have been able to "run" more regularly than in the last year (with very little negative impact to my legs/hip).  It has also pumped up my training log for my running totals!!!!!

I've been tucking my Elliptical training under the Sports catagory, then adding a note.

I'd put it in running, but I know that the mileage/pace that I keep on an elliptical is very different than what I maintain while road running or using the treadmill. Keeping them separate helps me track my "true" running pace better.

To each his own, I guess.
