All AARP members receive "Modern Maturity."
yea, pretty awful, then if you look inside theres a letter from a guy who runs 27:20 5K (not mile) and wants to go under 24:00. What did they name the article? Speed Demon.
LOL.
Oh, and apparently the 5K is the "perfect distance race"
I don't understand. Why did this guy want to run faster? Doesn't he read my articles? My, I have much more work to do if some RW readers are still trying to run faster.
What is Modern Maturity??
I use to be in the magazine business and covers are a business decision not an editorial decision. Female covers almost always out sell male covers for most magazines. Men will buy female covers to look at the babe and women will buy them to look at her hair and what she is wearing.
Runner's World use to have two covers. One for subscribers and another for the newsstand. That may have been before Bob Anderson sold the company to Rodale Press.
I can't wait until jasonlover is on the cover.
Alan Webb was on an RW cover after he ran 3:53 in high school. I believe it may have only gone to the subscribers because the event occurred close to deadline.
The realities of the magazine business and the magazine-buying public are quite starkly sad. Apparently the lowest-selling edition of "Sports Illustrated" ever had Jackie Joyner-Kersee on the cover.
I don't like Gallo-world much, but that Lokeilani McMichael who covered them a while back was so gorgeous I couldn't stand it. What a babe to end all babes. Yow, what a hottie!!!! Did I mention that I think she is hot? OH YEAH!!!!!!!
PS, I canceled my RW sub, too.

Yeah, but how about some UGLY accomplished runners? Surely they exist!
Here's an interesting if somewhat outdated link to the top 200 consumer mags in the US, ranked by paid circulation (I've also pasted some of this info at the bottom of this post):

How about Playboy hanging in tough at 16th...would like to see Suzy Favor-Hamilton in Playboy...or naked on the cover of Runner's World...I mean...her previous cover on RW was nice enough...how nice it would be sans clothes. Just a thought.
RW sucks so bad, I'd like to see them go out of business... no covers.
