Wow. Just wow. Really Runner's World?!

Yasso is gone. So is David Willey.

The magazine is over. It will fold within a couple years at best or go digital only and then disappear completely.

Well it certainly sounds like you know more about what the average woman wants out of RW than our editorial board. Please send your resume to me so that I can hire you and watch sales skyrocket.[/quote]

As you probably know, most of us on the LR message board are well into six figures, so it's going to take a pretty substantial sum to pull me away from my current gig. What can you offer?[/quote]

You're running RW out of your mom's basement? Very interesting. What happened to your dad? Broken home?

In terms of office furniture, I don't like Lazyboy chairs. As I said previously, I have a compact body, and I find that when I use the recliner function, I fall into the gap between the back and the bottom of the chair. So, I'll take the folding chair. Maybe we can share. I'll sit on your lap while I type.

On to substance:

I think we should do our first story on using menstrual cups while running. How is one to decide on the right size and firmness? I'll admit that I'm still in the learning phase on this one. Sometimes I get leakage, and I wonder if it's the jostling around causing the blood to leak through the air holes at the top, or if my pelvic muscles are sufficiently strong that they're crushing the sides of the cup while I move. This is the kind of nuts and bolts stuff that could be very helpful to other women. Also, menstrual cups are increasingly popular with younger, environmentally-conscious generations.

Rodale's not doing particularly well, by the way.

David Willey is out? Will we find out if he achieves his moonshot of BQing?

So, what do you do on your period? Tampon plus liner? I find that liners bunch when I sweat. But then, you.run the risk of stained shorts without a liner. I actually ran 5 miles with a "sport pad" (they were on sale and I was curious). Turns out it stayed put and didn't bunch.

About the diva cup fit issue, turn your cup inside out. It makes it a tad shorter but slightly wider and you may get a better seal.

Case in point, the demise of Running Times.

But who reads magazines anymore anyways? I used to read "The Economist" for news stories until they swung 100% LW, SJW, and stopped being impartial. Why pay for that, and why pay for hobby jogger recycled running stories?

The Economist is not left wing or "SJW" you nitwit. Its political bent has always been classical liberalism, spruced up with a spoonful of pragmatism and a dash of elitism.

The definition of pragmatism has changed a tad since 20-30 years ago, so its views on some specific social issues has changed. But the overall philosophy is intact.

"The Economist," sadly to me anyway, is pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia. I've been reading back issues from November and December 2016 and it is funny to see its predictions on the tanking of the stock market due to Trump's election, while in fact the stock market has soared. What little tanking has occurred seems, rather, to be due to the events leading up to and including the appointment of a special prosecutor this past week regarding alleged collusion of someone in the Trump Administration with Russian officials.

Curious, when was the last time you learned anything in that rag that made any difference whatsoever in your running?

We stopped subscribing many years ago. Never needed to diet, didn't want to be completely hairless, found Yasso 800s to be self-marketing 101, etc., etc., etc.

They can't survive without pandering to the snowflakes.

Hugs all, peace out.

its predictions on the tanking of the stock market

The Economist fully endorsed the candidate who said Wall Street has to pay their fair share, who wanted to raise taxes on higher earners, and who wanted more public spending. The Economist isn't about free market economy, it liberalism personified. Raising taxes on higher earners is not a sound economic principle either. The Economist probably doesn't believe in the Laffer curve. It was more balanced in the past, but has gone downhill. I cancelled when I realized the change.

That mag should be called "Fat Ladies Who Register For Half Marathons World"

I was hoping for this to be a classic letsrun post. After-all 3 pages on runners world had to have something. I was getting discouraged and about to move on and then this happened. Thank you letsrun.

Help us out: in what publication have you learned something lately that has made a difference in your running?

I agree with all of this. I don't think there's enough information out there about managing menstrual symptoms and training, the bulk of it is 'if you're not getting your period it's a problem.'

My college team always said 'look good/run good.' I started wearing make-up to races in college after seeing photos of my make-up free face on the college website/blown up during the end of the year athletic banquet.
