We establish conditions under which the worldsheet beta-functions of logarithmic conformal field theories can be derived as the gradient of some scalar function on the moduli space of running coupling constants. We derive a renormalization group invariant version of this function and relate it to the usual Zamolodchikov C-function expressed in terms of correlation functions of the worldsheet energy-momentum tensor. The results are applied to the example of D-brane recoil in string theory.
