I think the problem is space, Beatty.

They can't include everyone, so have to make a decision.

RW is a magazine aimed at runners. As previously mentioned, other publications will carry articles about charity runners and so on.

Include everyone else just for once?

From my perspective Runners World caters almost entirely for the beginner and hardly at all for the serious runner.

Absolutely. Didnt they start a subsiduary mag called 'Performance Athlete' aimed at the 'sharp end' runners? I get a great deal out of the magazine, whether it's reading how top runners train, or how to fund-raise etc. The only negative I have is the prevalence for adverts. But I guess that keeps the price relatively low.

I see the mag as an extension of the website, rather than the other way round. Would you agree?

So we think it's an editorial thing? I rather assumed it was because the RW snappers needed to get the shoot done and everything packed up, whether for cost, practicalities or convenience.

...it would certainly be a first for RW to actively decide to exclude the slower end of the market. Wouldn't it?
