 I prefer Runner's World, May 28, 2003
By jkunz (N.H.)
|
|

As I write this review, there are only two reviews of Running Times right now and I feel like I need to add my two cents. A big reason I subscribed to Running Times was based on these two positive reviews. I subscribed to Runner's World before I had ever heard of Running Times. I wanted even more motivation to get out there and run distance, so I subscribed to both. Running Times concentrates too much on athlete runners and "destination spots" to run... like Hawaii or the Rocky Mountains, places that have beautiful pictures but are of no interest to me and my running. Furthermore, Running Times concentrates on individual races and results with more detail than I care for. I really don't need a one-page article on the Chicago marathon. I find the occasional article about eating better or training for a better 5k/10k/marathon in Running Times, but those articles are pretty sparse. I grab an issue of Runner's World and it's the complete opposite. I get information about training, eating, injury prevention, stretching, etc. It has the same kind of race calendar as Running Times for the 5 and 10k's that I want to run. It's information that I can use as a runner. If you'd rather get information about how to improve YOUR running and not stories about running, stick with Runner's World.

 Running Times is the runner's best resource, August 21, 2003
By Drew (Arlington, VA)
|
|
|
I am writing because I believe the most recent review of Running Times paints an inaccurate picture of the magazine. From my perspective, Running Times is a much better resource than Runner's World for serious runners, serious athletes, AND the rest of us who are serious ABOUT our running. My experiences with Runner's World make me think about the thousands of people who "run" road races all across the United States. I put run in quotes because there are plenty of people who run races to finish the race, very noble goal. Runner's World provides quick suggestions for making longer races interesting (i.e. take a camera on a secenic race course and take some pictures). Great idea to get people out for races, but not a good idea for someone who wants to improve their race time. Gallowalking will get you to the finishline, but if you have been training appropriately, it will not drop your race times. My experiences with Running Times tend to make me think of those people who want to drop a minute from their 5k PR. Whether you are running 21 minute 5k's or running 16 minute 5k's, Running Times will provide runners who are interested in improving their running with the information they need to improve. Pete Pfitzinger in particular brings an incredible wealth of scientific and real-world training and racing knowledge to each issue of the magazine. I highly recommend Running Times to anyone who is serious ABOUT their running.

 For the serious runner on any level, November 14, 2001
By What should .. (Glen Ellyn, IL USA)
|
|
|
"Running Times" is for runners who compete either against others, or who simply have a great desire to run well. Well written, and cleanly organized, you'll read about the training methods of top runners, and the top techniques for meeting a specfic goal. Marathoners and 5Kers will find that there is a lot to be learned from each other's distance, and they'll have the chance here. For stats junkies, the people who love to read who won the Juniper Days 5K in Upper Nowhere City... oh, the feast you will have! As a stats junkie myself, I thumb through the times quickly before devouring every detail. I fully recommend this magazine. Anthony Trendl

Great advise and prevention magazine, August 24, 2002
By MotherLodeBeth (Sierras of California)
|
|
Running Times is one of two running magazines we subscribe to. It offers some valuable and well tested advise for the novice and well as the seasoned runner, on diet and injury prevention and care after the fact. I recommend it to anyone seriously interested in running.

 I agree with JRK from vermont - Runner's World is better, February 10, 2005
By A. Chung-Feder (Brooklyn, NY)
|
|
I first saw Running Times at my podiatrist's office and a few articles are really good but the lay out and the way it is put together is bit unorganized so for me it is not very clear on the subjects that I am reading. Like JRK said I get more out of Runner's World than i did with Running TImes. Since there are not many running magazine out there I think having Running Times is a good additional info if you have the extra dough.

light years ahead of Runner's World, July 17, 2009
By E (Ecuador)
|
|
This is a great running magazine, probably the best there is out there. If you're looking to subscribe to Runner's World, please do yourself a favor and don't. I was subscribed to RW for years, and every magazine was practically the same (how to get faster quickly! how to loose the fat! What to eat!... etc. and the thing is it keeps repeating itself forever).
RW is kind of a fashion-running-magazine (what nike was to running shoes until about two years ago when they decided to forego fashion and restart making serious running shoes).
Running Times, on the other hand is a serious a magazine as you can find in the subject (with the occasional -but better researched and written-- article about the fat, and the secret of getting faster).
Subscribe to this, and buy on the newsstand RW a couple of times a year... you'll be set.

No Junk in this Magazine, March 31, 2005
By "Dory" (Sunny CA.)
|
|
I recommend this magazine to really learn techniques to improve your running level. There is not alot of filler in this small magazine. I find that this is the magazine I don't circulate with friends because I like to keep the articles for future reference. I learn something new each time.

A Good Running Magazine, October 13, 2008
By Diana Bennett (So Cal)
|
|
I subscribe to both Running Times & Runner's World. Although they are a bit different format, they are both just as good. Running Times is a bit thinner but is packed with alot of running stats and race information & dates. It offers alot of high school & college athletes, which is great if you're buying for a younger runner. It also has less ads than RW does. It's a great magazine with alot of running tips.

Great magazine for inspiration and for running news, December 26, 2010
By Dahliared (Alaska)
|
|
This magazine is particularly geared towards runners who are competitive, but even as a non-competitive runner, I find enough meat in the magazine to justify a subscription. I find that comparisons between this magazine and the other major running magazine are silly-they are for different crowds. As a runner who doesn't compete in 5Ks/10ks/ultras, etc, there is much information in here that I simply don't need, but I find inspiration in the stories of runners and their coaches. I recommend this to anyone who needs a monthly running inspiration in their mailbox, or just wants to keep up on the racing world.

Like Runner's World, But For Real Runners, June 13, 2011
By ninjawarrior19
|
|
This is like Runners World for real runners. The topics are less geared towards beginners and more geared towards competitors or runners who want to step up their game. Always filled with quality articles, workouts, and tips. I highly recommend this publication.

excellent magazine for the serious runner, May 18, 2011
By roadrunner (Perkasie PA)
|
|
I have been running and racing for 34 years. This magazine is excellent on knowledge about running and racing. The price on Amazon is the best I have ever seen. I have never paid less than I recently did on Amazom. I also get Runners World, which is a good read, but not so much for the serious runner and racer. I have been reading Running Times for at least 15+ years!

Better Than Some Other Running Magazines, December 22, 2010
By Shelly
|
|
I have subscribed to Running Times magazine for about a year. I would say that it is more for someone who is interested in improving your running times, increasing distance, and improving form. There are sections dedicated to what is happening at the high school, college, professional and master levels. There are drills on just about everything related to running, including strength, technique and core routines. The authors are usually renowned coaches at all levels of participation.
If you are interested in a more light, easy reading running magazine, try Runners World. It's not a bad publication, but is much more "main stream" and geared to (dare I say) the more casual runner. Again, not a bad thing, but if you want drills and information to take you to YOUR next level, then I would recommend Times over World.

better than runner's world, December 1, 2010
By cali franny (CA)
|
|
i've subscribed to runner's world for a few years and got tired of their recycled stories. running times has great articles, good shoe reviews based on objective standards rather than which shoe sponsors the magazine, and comes with a good price tag. all runners will benefit from this magazine. you can be a beginner, seasoned, or a minimalist runner and you will find something each month that will be worth reading.

Just as expected!, May 27, 2010
By K. Black (Rio Rancho, NM)
|
|
Got my first issue much quicker than the 6 weeks quoted upon purchase and was pleased with that.
Just renewed a subscription that had lapsed a while back so I knew what I was getting. I prefer reading the personal stories of runners rather than loads of race reports but some issues are just that way....but that is my only complaint.
Overall very pleased.

Recommended, October 7, 2009
By Lion of Ions (New York City)
|
|
This is a magazine about runners (i.e. not joggers) for runners. After ordering through Amazon I received my first issue in about 3 weeks: perfect. Oh, and I have the Amazon credit card, so my gift certificate afforded me the magazine subscription for free. For two years! That's hard to beat.
