    Why would RW need stories about elites when they also own RT?

    From the Running Times Magazine Facebook page:

    We made the difficult decision that Running Times will no longer be published beyond its January/February issue. This will enable Runner's World, which already serves runners of all ages and abilities, to broaden its ambitions, connect with runners in new ways, and cover our sport more deeply as it begins its 50th year of publication

    I am not sure RW will change a bit.

    1. A story on Emily Infeld.

    Two if you count some story about some jerkoff dad leading the Boston marathon for a few feet.

    Why should RW or the any of the press be going on about elites? When you look at all the IAAF cover ups and drugs busts that have been reported in the press the general conclusion is that elite t and f is just riddled with lying and doping. If the top level of the sport really is like this then it does not deserve to have any coverage in the media. The general public will be more intetrested in the "everyman" for good reason.

    I remember trying to hang with those guys at races.

    Never did succeed.

    I checked out a recent issue of RW in my chiro's office earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised. There was a great piece on Hispanic immigant runners in NYC's West Side Runners Club--all of them fierce competitors, all of them working challenging full time jobs and managing to run 60-100 mpw regardless. It was inspiring. All is not lost.

    I got Runnersworld this last year and will not renew because 99% of it was garbage. I did read the article you mentioned and it was very good and the runners were impressive. In the latest issue there was also an excellent article written by a guy who has Alzheimer's about his running. But apparently these stories aren't what the Runnersworld crowd are interested in.
