1. We are pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right of way. Therefore, we have the right of way.   2. It is not only impolite but also dangerous to drive so close to us that we could punch, I mean touch your car if we wanted to. Move over and give us a bit of space. If someone is approaching from the opposite direction that prohibits you from moving over a few inches, you may have to slow down until they pass. You'll survive. I promise.   3. On a track, the inner lanes are reserved for the fastest runners. If you are walking, walk on the outside lanes so that we... read more

  Quick little 101 on what needs to be serviced on your bike: -   Headset: Most of the newer bikes have two cartridge bearings built right into the frame for the headset, while older bikes like mine have a pressed in headset. For the first type, you replace the bearings when they get trashed, for the second if you catch them early you can soak in solvent and pack with grease. Check your headset by holding the front brake and rocking the bike back and forth listening for klunking. They are easy to tighten, just ask. -   Wheels: Campy or shimano hubs can be... read more

Kickrunners.com started over 6 years ago. At the time, and up to about mid 2010, the sites most active forum was, The Post Race Tent. This forum was the gathering place for a lot of people - from varying backgrounds that had met at different sites on the Internet but merged together into that forum.   However, even back in 2004 when we first started this site, we built into forums that focused on running - the original catalyst that brought many of us together.    And though the Post Race Tent is a fraction of the forum it once was and traffic in that forum is... read more

With the advent of mobile smartphones (dare I say, EXPLOSION of use?) - it's become increasingly apparent that Kickrunners.com becomes more 'mobile' friendly. The folks at Huddler have been working on this and in fact, for most mobile devices, browsing and using Kickrunners is relatively easy. But, there is still some issues with the blackberry family.   So, to help with this, kickrunners.com has been optimized to be viewed with the app called, tapatalk. You can download this app from any app store (appropriate to the phone you're using).   Once installed,... read more

When  you hate running on treadmills but you don't have access to dry paved trails for your runs, you might have to share the road with big metal machines - also called, CARS!   Running on the shoulder of the road can open great opportunities for nice long runs but also come with a hazardous side. Here are some tips to running on the highways and byways     SEE AND BE SEEN AND STAY ALERT   1. SEE: It amazes me how many times as I drive down two lane roads I come up on runners who are running on the same side of the road as traffic flows! This is SERIOUS... read more
