This is a magazine about runners (i.e. Oh, and I have the Amazon credit card, so my gift certificate afforded me the magazine subscription for free. not joggers) for runners. After ordering through Amazon I received my first issue in about 3 weeks: perfect. For two years. That's hard to beat.
What to eat. If you're looking to subscribe to Runner's World, please do yourself a favor and don't. This is a great running magazine, probably the best there is out there. etc. I was subscribed to RW for years, and every magazine was practically the same (how to get faster quickly. how to loose the fat. and the thing is it keeps repeating itself forever).RW is kind of a fashion-running-magazine (what nike was to running shoes until about two years ago when they decided to forego fashion and restart making serious running shoes).Running Times, on the other hand is a serious a magazine as you can find in the subject (with the occasional -but better researched and written-- article about the fat, and the secret of getting faster).Subscribe to this, and buy on the newsstand RW a couple of times a year. you'll be set.
I subscribe to both Running Times & Runner's World. It offers alot of high school & college athletes, which is great if you're buying for a younger runner. Although they are a bit different format, they are both just as good. Running Times is a bit thinner but is packed with alot of running stats and race information & dates. It also has less ads than RW does. It's a great magazine with alot of running tips.
I recommend this magazine to really learn techniques to improve your running level. There is not alot of filler in this small magazine. I find that this is the magazine I don't circulate with friends because I like to keep the articles for future reference. I learn something new each time.
I first saw Running Times at my podiatrist's office and a few articles are really good but the lay out and the way it is put together is bit unorganized so for me it is not very clear on the subjects that I am reading. Like JRK said I get more out of Runner's World than i did with Running TImes. Since there are not many running magazine out there I think having Running Times is a good additional info if you have the extra dough.
