I've built a running tracker - free to use, please provide feedback!

I’ve built a full running tracker spreadsheet for my own training this year. I thought it might be useful for anyone wanting to use one, plus I’d love some feedback from other runners.

It includes a dashboard, run log, shoe mileage tracker, injury log, pace calculator and charts for weekly mileage and other trends. I’ve been using it for my own training and it’s been fun to build, but I want to improve it before I share it more widely.

If anyone has time to look at it and tell me what’s confusing, missing or could be better, I’d really appreciate it. There is an instructions tab but in short, you just fill in your personal goals, import your data from strava/garmin/coros, and you should be up and running.

Here’s the view‑only link:

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look.

I launched my shop last week as a way to pivot towards the running industry. I've used and created running plans before and wanted to build something with genuine with detailed guidance rather than the empty calendar-style plans that are common on Etsy. I know it's early days and I'm not expecting fireworks yet, but I'm enjoying creating and listing!

My two questions:

  1. Pricing is hard since most competing plans are basic calendars, mine are detailed guides. Etsy's buyer protection fee makes my listed prices look odd (£5.99 becomes £7.19). Should I adjust my prices so the buyer-facing number is cleaner, or leave it?
  2. Do my listings feel professional and trustworthy enough to convert cold traffic? Digital downloads rely on trust before reviews exist, so I'd love honest eyes on whether mine get there.

Required questions answered:

  1. What inspired me? Wanting something of my own connected to a genuine passion, and building experience towards a career move into the running industry.
  2. What research have I done? Lots of SEO research and realistic Etsy journey content on YouTube. The main thing I've taken away is that patience matters and the first few sales are the hardest to get.
