Send us a text #351 - When I started running, it was not easy trying to find information on running. I relied on Runner"s World Magazine. That was in the 1980s. RW was a top-notch magazine back then. I loved it so much! I would read through each issue at least three times. I saved them up too and eventually would cut out articles I especially loved and saved them long after the whole issue was gone. I found other running magazines I loved. Progress, technology chances many things and it"s changed the printed word. Most magazines are gone, including most running magazines. Today I focus on what happened to them, including the eventual demise of Runner"s World, which, in my opinion, suffered greatly by not sticking to running, instead, following a different path. Let"s go back in time and take a look at some of the great running magazines and what made them so great. Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...
