Coolrunning really helped me get started, but as for an online running log, I’ve been totally wowed by http://www.Runningahead.com. In terms of features, community, and technical support, it stands head and shoulders above Coolrunning. I’m not trying to dis Coolrunning, because I still rely on it for articles and other information. Huge selling point: RA.com has GMap Pedometer’s ability to sketch out routes!
I use a combination of coolrunning (for tracking) and mapmyrun.com for tracing my routes. I just started using coolrunning and like it so far. A couple weeks ago they were having some website issues but it looks like they fixed it now.
Not sure how it will affect the content, but Coolrunning was acquired by the Active Network on Monday.
