Is this Runners' World or Slimmers' World

The first thing I saw, when I picked up my Runners World was "get a firm, flat stomach". Hang on, I thought, this must be the wrong magazine. No, it wasn't. Why are the editorial team lowering themselves.
The profusion of slimming magazines and endless articles on weight loss from the dailies are bad enough but why do you have to do it as well. Can't we just be left to enjoy a fun sport without having to worry about what we look like. Editor, get a life!!!!

A) To start running
C) To lose weight
D) To have a baby in the gender you havent had through the other 9 kids.
.....you get my point though right. It sells. And people dont always like the same cover stories.
mine doesn't look like that despite 4 or 5 runs a week so i thought the article was good - strengthening the core muscles is beneficial i thought?
We run for a lot of different reasons. RW, I guess, tries to reflect most of them.
He writes a piece on a topic you're not keen on so you start drawing conclusions about his personal life?
I have found a lot of long runs can make the back prone to injury and a mate of mine reckoned a more women got a stitch because their stomach muscles were weaker. He used to advise sit ups.
Things may be different now. Pics were in black and white then

It's strange that on the My Profile page included in the reasons for running is not "enjoy running for its own sake"
Running 4miles 3 times per week at the same pace is going to lose you a bit of weight at first but the body gets used to this regime, yes it will help to tone you up a bit but its the long runs over 1-30 mins that are the fat burners....these are also known as base training as well, as they help the body to hold its own when a bit of faster work is put in on the shorter midweek runs. The longer runs actually help you run faster in the shorter races as you know that your body can run say 15miles when the race is only 5miles, so you can run say 10secs per mile faster = possible PB.
