Looking for a place with these parameters:
1) Year around runnable weather
2) Decently developed, decent population
3) Abundance of studios with less than $600/mo in rent.

El Paso! ??
Northeast Alabama / Southern Tennessee. Cheap housing, beautiful Appalachian foothills, excellent running culture near Chatty, and as long as you stick to the hills, the temps/humidity stay mostly bearable.
Jeebus, there are actually places in this country where you can pay less than 600/month for an apartment? I'm shocked, I pay more than that to park my car
Flagstaff
Rural Italy, Portugal, Spain, Morocco or many eastern European countries.
Flagstaff.. live out of your car.

You're going to have to give up one of those 3, hoss.

Totally this! Not necessarily Flagstaff, though that would be one good location... But seriously, look at buying an RV or Dodge Sprinter. There are many creative ways to live well below $600 a month rent! Find someone where you can rent a small section of their backyard and put up a yurt... Live in a cargo van, take your showers at a Y/gym...
BTW, I bought my house for $20k in Columbia MO which is a pretty decent running town. That's less than many pay for a car! It is paid off and I've added on to it and it is now worth more than $150k...
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Des Moines, IA. Most coast people haven't been there, so they don't know what it's like. It's got a metro population of 645,911, so that's good sized. Certainly not a major city, but not anything like a small town.
Lots of studios for around $500-$600... But if you can find yourself a roommate you can get a 2-bedroom where you're each paying $400-$450.
Winter isn't as bad as people think, you'll have a few days around 10 degrees, but most of the days in the winter are 25-35 degrees. It doesn't get as hot as the south, a hot day would be in the 90's, typical summer is 80's. Good jobs, so if you really need to get out into the mountains or on the ocean, just take a vacation with all of the money you save by living in an affordable place.

Ann Arbor is an incredible place to live and run, but it definitively violates two of those criteria.
