I look forward to it landing on the doormat ... mind you I've only been running for about a year so if they repeat themselves I haven't noticed yet ...
M..eldy sums it up pretty well, however that is a problem for most magazines that I have susbcribed to - golf, walking, photography -they are all based around the seasons.
I have not subscribed for several years now but I think I will sign up again. I liked the race reviews and the photographs of a great run that used to be very early on in the magazine.
It is not that expensive when ordered on subscription, what have you got to lose 15West?
I got my subscription with Tesco vouchers. Chances are I won't renew as, like others have said, most 'hobby' magazines do tend to repeat themselves each year.
If they sorted out the pricing of digital versions of the magazine I might change my mind. Right now it's £10 more expensive to get a digital version through Newsstand than to get a normal subscription. £40 for something they don't have to physically print or post to me, or provide cover items for is completely ridiculous.
I borrow a copy from the local library for a week for free They keep them for three months and then sell them off for 20p so if there's something I particularly want then I buy it then
A friend has just subscribed though as she wanted a running watch and that came as the gift for subscribing - for her it worked out better to subscribe and getting something free she would have paid for anyway. Bit like buying the watch and getting the magazine free.
I subscribe BUT I actually find both Men's Running (which I subscribe to) and Running Fitness magazine are better, more detailed and still a broad range of info.

Worth it for the fit bird on the cover alone
Sorry, bit confused, I am thinking of Razzle.

Defo cancel after the year though. They reward loyalty by increasing the subscription cost by 30%
I'm cancelling mine.
