Runner's World Print Magazine

Every month this magazine comes to my place now, and gets me excited and ready for another month of activity. Even though I slice, tear, and cut-up this magazine, reading and underlining, highlighting, etc., when I take it in to work to leave at my company's break room, people are still looking through the remains and taking out sections and article interesting to them. There is something for everyone.This magazine will improve your spirits while you're improving your body. With more physical exercise you become that happier person you've wanted to be. It gets you doing things with others too, when you find that special person to walk, run, or jog with.There are articles about old bodies, young bodies, and in-between bodies, and how we can all improve!Recommended reading, every month, for a great price on a small budget.

I sent my daughter a subscription to this fine publication, that helped me through 4 marathons, and 4, 1/2 Ironman Triathlons. I am 63yrs. old with arthritis in my knees now, but still love to push the pedals. Hoping my 21yr. old daughter will pick up on my previous life style, she is enjoying this iconic publication. She is @ that point where she is upping her miles to 45 a week (from 27) and now is really cross training with the edition of "studio cycling" (who thinks of these names) she is developing some muscle. To many young girls jog "just to lose weight". She is reading Runner's World, that has always emphasized quality over quantity. Jogging and Indoor Cycling have become to much about narcasissm then health. Another feature I have always liked about Runner's World. If she takes the next jump to outdoor cycling and swimming, I want her to have all the information @ her disposal. I find Triathlon Magazine to be absent of any information for novices. (That is just my opinion) However, coming from someone who has trained others, and lent my training journal many times, I want to be very careful to send her the correct information about diet, minor injuries, etc. I do not want her to attain fitness, not narcasissm. A very big problem in sports training @ this time. Especially among women. More is not better ladies. Runner's World has that as a editorial motto.

I used to run during the "first running boom" of the 1970's and early 80's, but had taken a break of over 20 years. I used to read Runner's World back then. I started running again early this year, and have now started reading Runner's World again. I read perhaps 80-85% of it each month, and that's not bad. Most of the articles are quite good, and include inspiration and good information about improving running and overall health.

I've been reading Runner's World for about three years now. It seems that whenever my motivation hits an all time low another magazine will end up in my mailbox. After reading half of the magazine I am forced to put on my running shoes and hit the streets.There are many educational benefits I receive from these magazines. I enjoy their training tips to help me improve my running time. I enjoy their list of races in the back of issue so I can plan what I want to run next in my geographic area.Most importantly, I highly appreciate the safety tips that are included. Running can be very hard on your body, as most of my cross country team learned in high school. This should become standard reading for high school students. I wish my coach had gone through an issue every month with us, highlighting how to run safely while diminishing run times.If you run, get this magazine. If you don't run but would like to, visit their educational web page to get an idea how to start and then subcribe to the magazine so, like me, you are reminded to get off your duff and hit the streets.

I have only read two issues and I am pleased so far. The articles are very in depth and informative. I really liked the article on running as a help for veterans suffering from PTSD (March 2014), it's fantastic, not a fluff piece. My son is an Iraq War veteran so this really hit home for me. There are tons of tips and useful information. Some of the articles and information are over my head as I'm new to running, so it seems as though this would be good for all levels of runners.

I've been buying Runner's World off and on for years and everytime I pick up a copy, I never feel warded off the sport. I'm trying to train for a triathlon and everytime I pick up a magazine relating to triathlons in general, I feel like I'm the laziest ass on the planet. I'm not going to not do one because of this but it doesn't really help motivate a beginner. I love Runner's World because it's all-inclusive, for any level, for any age.I don't get that daunting feeling I get when I pick up a tri mag and I think for anyone who needs that reassurance on a constant basis, RW really helps out.

I bought this magazine for my boyfriend and I was expecting it to come begining the month of March and I already got it! It is an awsome magazine, and it is very motivating, especially the stories about people like Matt Long, who after having an awful accident, he es RUNNING! Wow, and it had a very good motivator, we are running again!

Runner's World is great for a beginner to intermediate level runner. There are some good tips and the fluff pieces are usually a pretty good read, but once you've been running for a couple years (regardless of distance), I recommend switching to Running Times which tends to have advice that is a bit more in depth. If your interests lie beyond just running (triathlons, ultra running, trail running), I'd look for something a bit more aligned with those activities.
