Runner's World Magazine

How to cross-train to improve running times and prevent overuse injuries–whether you are participating in your first 10-K or competing to win a marathon or triathlon

Finally, runners at all levels can improve their race times while training less, with the revolutionary Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) program.

Runners need to eat well for their performance, and what they eat can have a direct influence on how they run but they don't always have the time to put together a complex or labour-intensive recipe to support their nutritional needs.

For more than 40 years, Runner's World magazine has been the world's leading authority on running—bringing its readers the latest running advice and some of the most compelling sports narratives ever told. From inspirational stories such as "A Second Life"(the story of Matt Long, the FDNY firefighter who learned to run again after a critical injury) to analytical essays such as "White Men Can't Run" (a look at what puts African runners at the front of the pack), the magazine captivates its readers every month.
