Well done RW!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

I don't want to go over old ground, but I'd like to salute RW for having a go at the British 10k. Admittedly, I thought that this year's race was actually quite good, with the exception of the water cover. The past years have escaped comment in the magazine. I always thought that it might have something to do with the amount of advertising the race organisers go in for, but this year RW came good.

at least RW listened to its readers,

running fitness on the other hand:

a) doesn't have readers
b) doesn't listen to them
c) quality of readers below standards

Don Minquez · September 2003

I read RF...

Jose. · September 2003

d) readers spend time in RW's forums and don't write to RF

Well done RW!!

I also think from the comments on here that the pack distribution (people getting two, not any, not knowing a few days before if they were in or not) was pretty pi55 poor.

Also marshalls not knowing where the drinks were after the finish!

British 10k - I must have missed that one. What happened?

Kanga M · September 2003

I gave up on waiting for a bronze place to arrive, so didn't go on the day, and asked for AND GOT (!!?!?) full refund afterwards.

The Road Runner · September 2003

jose - Running Fitness has 25,000 readers....

If only they hadn't stopped getting independently audited on a yearly basis three years ago then we could believe them (ABC figures – all great magazines have them).

Jj · September 2003

RW has 60,000 doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

cougie · September 2003

about that many on the forums isn't there ?

[Deleted User] · September 2003

63,351 honest! No bulks either
Another mega rise expected in January.

XFR Bear · September 2003

Readers or subscribers?

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Subs and copies bought in shops. Obviously the readership is much higher to allow for number of people per household or in clubs who have access to an issue.

XFR Bear · September 2003

And those who flick through it in WH Smith's. Is the plastic covers bit a deliberate ploy to prevent that?

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Er… the bag is to stop gifts/inserts falling on the floor actually.

XFR Bear · September 2003

Oh right - well i must admit having picked up a copy to have half a ton of leaflets fall onto the floor, it's a good idea!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Hang on! Why are you having a go at RF? I like it! To be honest, there are more dud RW issues than RF ones. (I especially like the writing staff running diaries, but I'm just nosey that way. Plus that London Marathon Nike Running team blonde girl was right georgeous. Called Isobel Partridge or sommat.)

Don Minquez · September 2003

I am indeed!

Jj · September 2003

I don't think you can get the buggery magazines IN Smiths any more, Hipps.

Don Minquez · September 2003

They're a little more specialist...

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Gavo · September 2003

There are pics of Jon in more specialists mags as well.

Or so I've been told.

Barkles · September 2003

but they are illegal..

Gavo · September 2003

So then headteachers shouldn't have copies?

Barkles · September 2003

[Deleted User] · September 2003
