Running Times Magazine is where you turn when you want to take a minute
or two off of your personalrecord
or when you are determined to train like a professional or win your
entry to Boston.
This is the runner's magazine that covers the more professional aspects
of the business for those who probably
already know all about how to run safely
and do not need to be convinced that running is a good thing.
This is the magazine for people who want to do their absolutebest,
compete with the best, and take their running to the nextlevel.
The
articles are focused on serious information and strategy that helps
turn passionate runners into winningrunners
at the next big race.
Running Times Magazine and
Runner's World -- The Differences
While both Running Times Magazine and the very popularRunner's World
are owned and produced by the same company (Rodale), it is Running
Times that you are more likely to see sticking
out of the bags owned by the top professional runners in the world.
This is the magazine where professionals and wanna-be professionals
turn to get the in-depth information on
everything from improving time and speed to details on the hottest
new running shoes and training gear.
The magazine also offers tips on diet and
nutrition, since that is a huge part of being the best runner possible.
Runners who are serious about improving their time, placing in the
top 5, or securing their tickettoBoston
are seriously dedicated to eating the right foods that will fuel their
bodies across that finish line. That is why a decent amount of the
magazine is devoted to recipes and other adviceonnutrition
for serious runners.
The main difference between Running Times Magazine and the competing
Runner's World is the type of reader they are aimed toward.
While Running Times is dedicated to
helping seriousrunners
improve their performance and take care of their bodies as efficiently
as possible, Runner's World is dedicated to inspiring others to take up
running and motivating beginner's to
become more serious runners.
Transitioning from Runner's
World to Running Times Magazine
Essentially, Runner's World readers could soon become dedicated Running
Times Magazine readers! Once the running bug bites
hard and more professional goals are set, this is the magazine where
all the big answers and secrets
of the industry are dished up.
Upcoming races and coverage of previously
finished races is also a big part of the magazine. While the biggest
races are always covered with stats, some smaller races
in areas around the country are covered as well.
There tends to be a lot of coverage of highschool and college
running events as well, since many professional and serious runners
take an interest in those events, coming out of a background of running
at high school and uni.
While the issues of Running Times Magazine tend to be a bit on the thin
side compared to Runner's World, the information is moretechnical
about the nuts and bolts of improving your run.
If you are already seriousaboutrunning and
want to improve your records, place higher in your next race, or simply
be the best runner you can possibly be, this is the magazine to get
your hands on.
That said, if you are looking for a bit of motivationtostick
with your goals or inspiration to hit the road, pick up Runner's World
as it makes a greatcompanion
read on many months.
Personally I read both most of the time, because I like the dedicated
running training advice from Running Times magazine, but also like the
inspirational stories from Runner's World.
