Runner's World Magazine

Pros: A quick, easy to read magazine without a lot of ads.
Cons: Basic, short, few in-depth articles.

Pros: lots of tips and articles of interest to people interested in fitness not just running
Cons: perhaps too heavily focused on marathon running

To look at me you wouldn't know it, but I'm a fairly prolific walker. I walk for transportation and sometimes I walk for pleasure. Once in a while, if I don't feel like I've been walking enough, I make myself walk for exercise. Thankfully I don't have to ...

Pros: Best Resource for Runners, Great Articles, Guides, Planning
Cons: Ads

I enjoy watching people run, from the comfort of my air conditioned automobile. While they sweat and grind their teeth in pain, I reach for another twinkie on the passenger seat. My legs hurt so much, as I apply pressure to the accelerator. My bicepts ...

Pros: GREAT ARTICLES
Cons: Should be longer!!!!

Oh, the wonderful words of inspiration.... All the encouragement and one of the best magazines out there for runners! Add all of these qualities together and there you have it! Runner's World!


O.k. So I do not actually have to run to the...

Pros: it gives me something to do when I'm not running
Cons: FLAWLESS

Runner's World is absolutely a necessity for all of you die hard runners out there. I have been running competitively for several years now and I have been a subscriber for almost as long. I love reading everything I can get my hands out about running, I...

Pros: Great stories, good advice and training tips. A great motivating running magazine.
Cons: Reads too quickly. Or maybe I'm just fast.

That was the question on my mind, when I was considering a subscription. Isn't there only so much you can say about socks, shoes, and long runs? I took a chance anyways. Now, I eagerly anticipate new issues, and read 'em cover to cover in about a ...

Pros: Great for all levels, variety of articles
Cons: None

As this is my 400th review on Epinions, I looked back over some of my earliest reviews. Man, were they bad! As much as I’ve improved in writing over the years, I’ve improved almost as much in my running due to Runner’s World ...

Pros: Non-intimidating for beginners, useful information on nutrition and training
Cons: Very brief coverage of races; more competitive runners may not be satisfied

Between the two major running magazines in the United States, Runner's World is geared primarily toward the beginning to intermediate runner. In general, columns and feature stories de-emphasize competition and focus on the human interest side of...

Pros: Good for beginners
Cons: Not for serious runners

I am embarassed to be writing this article; embarassed to have been subscriber to this "running" magazine for two years now. I should have canceled my subscription a long time ago so I should not have the expertise needed to write this...

Pros: The best source for running tips, injury rehab and prevention, and inspiration.
Cons: I'd like more tips for shorter races such as 5K

I became a competitive runner again recently, so I thought it would be best to subscribe to Runner's World. I hadn't seen this magazine since my Dad was running marathons when I was a kid, but I knew he liked it and it helped him so I thought it would...

Pros: Informative and inspiring
Cons: A month is a long time to wait for the next issue

At a 12 minute a mile pace, I'm hardly a fast or efficient runner, yet I still find plenty in this magazine to keep me motivated for the next run around the park or lake. I love the training plans: the August 00 edition gives detailed training plans for...

Pros: Very complete and comprehensive writing.
Cons: None

I first subscribed to Runners World about 15 years ago. It is one magazine which I have kept reading ever since. When it comes to running and runners, Runners World is the authority.

Runners World has some great monthly departments. I think...

Pros: Web site
Cons: Runner's World is a sell out

As a runner knocking on the door of elite status, my first instinct is to bash Runner’s World, and in my opinion Runner’s World contains a lot of silly articles that belong in Cosmopolitan or Men’s Health. I am not going to say that there isn’t some...

Pros: Very informative, good for runners of every level and age group.
Cons: Only comes once a month.

Once every month, I receive a magazine that I actually read cover to cover. The Runner's World magazine provides the best information for runners that I have found. You name it, they cover it from shoes to motivation to training tips to nutrition to...

Pros: Good, intersting articles that are useful
Cons: Not really ment for younger runners, Large focus on beginers

I have been subscribed to runners world ever since I started to run seriously, so for a full year and a half. I started with my high school Cross Country team, and then I did track and when I changed schools I kept running. I'm not that old of a...
