About Running Research News

Running Research News is a monthly newsletter which keeps sports-active people up-to-date on the latest information about training, sports nutrition, and sports medicine. RRN publishes practical, timely new material which improves workouts, prevents injuries, and heightens overall fitness.

For example, early in 1993, Running Research News reported that a perfectly legal, completely safe food supplement - creatine monohydrate - could boost athletic performance. Several British athletes had used creatine to win gold medals at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, but no other American publication mentioned creatine until the end of 1993 - at least nine months after RRN broke the story. In addition, Running Research News was the only publication to spend 10 days in the training camp of the world-champion Kenyan cross-country teams to find out how the Kenyans really train. The resulting article - "In the Halls of the Mountain Kings, It's Survival of the Fittest" - has been hailed as one of the most insightful stories to appear in sports publications in years.

RRN is designed for athletes of all ability levels. Elite international athletes and their coaches subscribe, but so do individuals who are trying to break 50 minutes for the 10K, as well as fitness-minded folks who want to design more effective workouts and learn about the health aspects of exercise. Cornell University coach Jack Warner said, "Running Research News is the most worthwhile publication I have seen during my 35 years of coaching."

Running Research News carries no advertising, so it candidly evaluates commercial products sold to runners and other atheletes. In recent issues, RRN told the truth about Gatorade®, Cytomax®, Exceed®, "energy-return" running shoes, Sorbothane® insoles, Gore-Tex®, Aspercreme®, heart monitors, polyurethane midsoles, the Wet Vest®, the Lung Trainer®, and popular nutritional supplements such as Coenzyme Q10.
