Lots of changes, some of them not positive

I've been a subscriber of Runner's World for about 5 years now, and lately, with all of the changes in who is publishing, leading, and editing, I've been disappointed with the magazine. David Willey's departure as editor was definitely the beginning of the end. I have been very discouraged by the profanity in the past few issues. I do not understand the need to print profane language in what I can only assume is an effort to appear more in-touch or edgy. Well, this reader does not appreciate it, and, in fact, I have just cancelled my subscription. I have four daughters who all love to run and this magazine has always had a spot on our end table for one of my girls to pick up and read, but, no more. This is not the kind of media that I want entering my home.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

I like to run, I've been running for 17-18 years, and I bought a subscription to Runner's World in the hopes it would help give me inspiration and motivation to sign up for a race (it has been several years since I've last done a marathon).

Somewhere in my 12 month, 11 issue subscription, Runner's World switched to a 6 issue per year model, which isn't what I subscribed to. I'm not blaming Amazon for not knowing what was going to happen because I don't think it's their fault, but I'm also not renewing my subscription because I wish that Runner's World had been more upfront with their sales strategy, and I have to admit, I feel a little swindled. I was wondering why it seemed slow to show up in the mailbox each month, and then I got my "renewal" email saying it is 6 issues per year.

Overall, I think this magazine is "sort of" informative for runners. It will frequently focus on elite athletes or someone who has overcome an obstacle (addiction, obesity, disease) to do fantastic things. Sometimes there are fun tips, exercises, stretches, and recipes. I like all of that. But, I feel like the main focus has become more advertising and "shoe guides". I am only going to buy so many pairs of running shoes a year (in 2018, I believe I bought 4-5 pairs (I ran 1660 miles, so 4 pairs sounds about right), 3 of them being Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 because I like to run in them), and when every issue focuses on new shoes, that's not that helpful to me.

I like running, I like reading about other people running, but this magazine is not that inspirational or motivational for me. I've found a lot more inspiration by reading running books, looking at running blogs, and mostly listening to podcasts on running (while running!), and none of those things are trying to sell me any running shoes or gear. And maybe after running for so long, I don't need anyone to tell me what gear/clothes/shoes to buy for running, and maybe I am not the target audience for this magazine.

Anyway, overall I would have rated this magazine a 3, because there are some nice parts that I enjoyed, but my feelings soured after realizing that they reduced the number of issues in the middle of my subscription with no notification until renewal time. Maybe they had a notice in the magazine itself, but if they did I totally missed it.

The magazine didn't help with inspiration/motivation, but my 2018 marathon plans were derailed by multiple thyroid surgeries, so not the magazine's fault. Anyway, I'm on the lookout for another running/fitness magazine because this one was a huge disappointment to me.

Want to escape from politics and mind-numbing diatribes? Don’t read Runner’s World.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020

I run to relax my mind, to assuage worry, and to improve my physical and mental health. I used to be able to read Runner’s World to help me do that, with plenty of helpful training articles, mixed in with the inevitable advertising masquerading as product reviews. But now, you get 6 issues a year, and every single one has become part of the woke circle-jerk echo chamber. If it were a parody publication, articles like the one in the photo I’ve included would be hilarious. But since they are intended to be serious, they are just boring, preach, and exhausting. So I’ve cancelled the subscription.

Horrible business model and ethics

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

I was subscribed to the digital and print edition until moments ago. Cancelled my subscription because I could not view any article on their website without signing up for a Runnersworld+ account, which charges you $5 /mo. I think that is completely insane after having given you $40 for a year so that I can receive your magazine in multiple formats.

The magazine seems to have gone downhill as well. Every article that was in the last edition seemed to be an advertisement for some sort of new product that was on the market. Also got tired of seeing so and so who lost a leg could now run races in "yada yada version 56 shoes that made him feel no pain and he could now run faster than ever". Magazine is a joke. Should have known it was going downhill when they moved their forums to a facebook chat. Save your money.

Not the same magazine as before. One big advertisement

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019

This used to be my favorite magazine but it is now it just mostly reviews expensive products. In others words: it’s a magazine designed to sell you running stuff.

The good articles and training tips they used to have in the magazine are now on their website and print purchasers have to pay to see the website material even though they are subscribed to the magazine.

What a disappointment. I just cancelled my subscription as I don’t even trust the reviews of the products (which are 90% of the magazine) because I don’t feel confident in the integrity of the magazine anymore.

Too bad. Another one bites the dust.

Used to be a lot better

The magazine used to be great with an awesome mixture of fun, short articles for a variety of levels, but the most recent issue was just a few long articles selling me a treadmill and about favorite places to run. I cancelled my subscription after several years since that's just not worth paying money for. Doubly so since they dropped Jeff Galloway's column.

Overall good, but needs more running science and less social commentary.

I wish it would focus more on running techniques and less on social commentary. Cancelled largely after one sided parkland high school article.
