Real Pages to Flip Through
It doesn’t even matter whether I can read the magazine’s language. I simply love flipping through the pages. If the magazine features running, it’s in my hands.
There’s something cool about the way a running magazine connects you to your ‘tribe,’ even when you don’t have your running shoes on.
Best Running Magazines for Trail Runners, Mountain Runners, Sky runners
Even kids can be drawn to running magazines. In my 13 years of parenting and 8 years of homeschooling my children, I’ve discovered that if you litter your house with quality and interesting reading material, kids will gravitate to it. This includes running magazines. Though they may not read the pages, they will at least flip through the pages and find inspiration.
In my travels, I’ve come across many different print running magazine titles. Here are 7 magazines to inspire your trail running, training and racing.
