On the 1988 cover of Margaret Groos it looks like she's running barefoot.
I started running in 1976 and I used to look forward to the annual shoe issue. Then Nike screwed it up. I think they quit advertising in RW when their shoes weren't ranked high enough to suit them.

Thanks, he's also leading the pack in the January 1977 cover, but uncredited.

That's the one I remember, I wonder if they had different covers for Canada. The 88 cover reminds me of the old Athletics West uni's. Thanks for posting these.

Some people were complaining that Runner's World never put Joan Benoit Samuelson on the cover. I've included three issues with her on the cover.

I know it's hard to believe but RW used to be a really good running magazine.
The covers were of actual athletes, during competition.
The first RW I ever bought was 1982 with Dave Moorecroft after his 13.00 solo effort.
Speaking of when RW put real athletes on the cover, how about my favorite. Shane Culpepper running in Garden of the Gods. Those Abbs! Not sure of the month or year.
I've added the March 2005 issue of RW with Shayne Culpepper. Unfortunately I have mostly the subscriber issues and maybe the one you are thinking of may have been the newsstand issue. There is a great picture of Shayne and her abs on the cover of Colorado Runner Magazine from Sept. 2004 and Running Times of June 1999. Shayne, if you are out there can you tell us if you made the cover with the Garden of the Gods in the background?
After looking this over, maybe it was Running Times that I bought.

Must have been before 92...
Thanks for the help. Got it posted from the September 1997 issue. I had forgotten her maiden name. Great picture, great recommendation.
Got it posted from September 1997. Thanks for the suggestion.
