» Kickrunners 2010 |
2010 is the 5th anniversary of kickrunners.com. It's hard to believe how far we've come in 5 years. I am excited to see what the next five years will bring!
We've gone from a small MSN user group with 5 people to a full service site with over 3000 members and over 1000 active members. Here's a quick run down of the what kickrunners has to offer:
- A complete and very active community - on any given day you're bound to find a topic that meets your needs and piques your interest. From serious running to just day to day banter, the community here offers much more than the typical 'forum' communities.
- A customized Running and Exercise log - The free version of our log is limited in scope and has just a running log but our expanded exercise log that comes with our premium membership allows you to record multiple sporting events and share your log. You can let your trainer review all of your log or just the graphs - it's completely up to you. The log has been designed with the input of our members.
- Training and Exercise Calculators - The newest add on to kickrunners.com are the calculators. These are available to all registered members. Originally designed by Owen Barder to go with his book, "Running for Fitness". Owen graciously allowed us permission to use his formulae here at kickrunners.com.
- Training Programs - Written by our members and available free with registration, the training programs are designed for every level of conditioning and covers distances from 5k to 50k. The authors are always available to assist you in your training.
These are just a few of the many features we have here at kickrunners.com. So what's coming down the pipe for kickrunners.com in 2010?
- A New Look! Vbulletin 4.0 has been released and our plan is to migrate our site to the newest version of vbulletin. Because of our custom coding, this process will take a great deal of time and effort to accomplish, but in the end it will be worth it.
- A New Server! In the upgrade process, I'll be moving kickrunners to a newer server. Several reasons for the move - Performance and ease of migration to the new platform. This will ensure kickrunners won't have to be taken down. We'll get the new site up and live and then 'flip the switch' - much like we did when we moved from first server to being on our own.
- New Running Log features - My goal for 2010 is to increase the reporting functionality of our running log and allow users to get a 'raw' download of their log for importing into excel or other programs. I'd like to have a direct link to google maps to allow you to 'map' your runs as well.
If you've not considered subscribing to kickrunners.com and would like to subscribe, your commitment to kickrunners is what allows us to not only stay online, but more importantly grow and become a better site and community. As always - if you want to subscribe, but simply can't afford it - send me a private message; we've got 'scholarship' options that help offset the cost of the subscription - up to and including a 'full ride' scholarship!
So, as we move into the next 5 years, allow me once again to thank each of you for your contribution and presence at our site. I hope you enjoy being here as much as I enjoy providing the site! Together, we can make the next 5 years even better than the last five!
Warm Regards,
satfix

Welcome to kickrunners.com!
This site was started by a small group of friends who met at Kicksports.com many years ago (well, in 'Internet years' anyway). We started as an MSN group and we've gone through many iterations since then to become what you see today.
We have a great group of members who frequent our site. Check out the forum area to see what it's all about. From Extreme Running and Ultra Distance Running to just 'goofing off' in The Post Race Tent - the forums have something for everyone.
We also offer Free Training Programs - They're located in the Articles section (You must register to see that area). There's a forum set up to discuss your training program and the authors of the programs will be happy to help you! From 5k beginners to running your first ultra marathon - we have a program for you
A Free Running Log! Yes, we have a completely free running log. Track and graph your results - but again, you have to register to use it.
There is so much more here - so take some time and look around. But to really experience all that kickrunners.com has to offer, you have to register. And that's free too! So what are you waiting for? 
Welcome HOME to Kickrunners.com! Your On-Line Running Community!

| Arm Paddles? |
|
Mar 11, 2010 - 4:33 PM - by mmoonptdeux

I actually tried to search the prior threads here at KR but couldn't find anything specific to the topic
During my first swim lesson yesterday, my swim instructor had me try them on for a length or two to try to get that sensation of holding the water rather than just pulling your arm through the water. I never had ever tried arm paddles ever before, and I kinda' sorta got a slightly different feeling, but not really. He suggested I maybe try to do some small number of lengths each time I'm at the pool as a way to work on that holding sensation.
So what of it? Are arm paddles at all helpful, or can you do just as well with the old fist drill, which is what I have always done in the past. And if they can help with gaining that sensation, are there specific paddles that are better than others (the ones I had for yesterday's lesson were the simple Speedo rectangle things with one loop for the wrist and one loop for the middle finger)?
