SubscribeI don’t pick up sports magazines anymore for a variety of reasons. Now that Michael has started running, he signed up for a subscription to Runners World.
I picked up a copy and was quite surprised by the amount of information in one magazine for athletes of all levels. I am going to comment on a few of the things I noticed in the magazine.
- GNC – Good vitamin store. Whey protein – Muscle and recovery supplement.
- Nuts – I love my nuts for long work outs.
- View points – We all see things from a different perspective.
- Success stories – Help for motivation.
- Q&A – See what other people are asking.
- Equipment ads – One way to find what is available.
- General tips – Like my running and happiness post.
- Performance tips – Help you improve your performance.
- Organics – I have been gravitating to organic food for a few years.
- Injury prevention – See what have other people tried for similar injuries.
- Injury prevention – See exercises to prevent injuries.
- Overall fitness – What is your overall fitness?
- Overall fitness exercises – It is more than just running.
- Shoes – It is nice to get information about different shoes. Your feet will take a pounding.
- Garmin 110 advertisement – I love my Garmin 405 but it is complicated.
- Calendar of events with reviews – Some events are just awesome.
I am not plugging any one magazine. Runners World was the magazine I picked up. I am fairly certain that any exercise magazine will be full of information too. Runners World has been around for a long time and there must be a reason why.
If you are new to running, it is nice to see what others are doing. It can be hard to listen to one or two sources when things don’t seem natural. A magazine is one more source to help you decide if you want to try something or not.
