She looks like a mannequin. I bet they have 100 pictures from the shoot better than this one and more in their archives. Any amateur could have chosen a better cover shot. Great honor for Jordan, new low for Runner's World. Both well earned.
The picture is awesome and I know photos and the caption is perhaps slightly misplaced, but no more so than all the other magazines. The problem is, the senic always looks for something bad and always finds it.
Its funny how about of runners on this site become experts on how magazine covers sell themselves. I suggest any of you go into a store that sell magazines and take a look at covers that sell fitness and fashion.
There is nothing misplaced on the cover, they spend days revising and discussing what will sell the most , what will cause someone to pick the mag up etc.
Attractive women on covers sell.
Body improvement techniques sell.
Sex and romance dialog sells.
Great to see Jordan on the cover vs a model!
