OMG ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Oh god it's just reminded me of a toy I had when I was about 10 or 11..it was pink and purple, consisted of wheels that moved, and you could mix and match heads, tops and bottoms, and then make pictures from them - some sort of kiddy fashion wheel thing. Fashion Wheel!! Was that it?!

RW have been using Runners Wheel lol...

I think Len2 has hit on the answer - RW keep a stock of heads, bodies and legs and just mix and match them each month ...

Inside this month's issue...

Take our "quick-fix" overnight improvement philosophy to the next level with our Wurzel Gummidge training plan. Not happy with your current fitness? Simply change heads to one belonging to a manly man with more testosterone than you (look at his chin!) and knock minutes off your 10k pb.

Can't remember the last time they had a decent photo on the cover of Runners World, it's always the same old wafer thin smiley model type.About time we had someone like Mike Tindall on the cover,a big ugly bastard, Jan 2012 issue's cover is far too poncey,not a blade of hair out of place,immaculately dressed & a pair of hairless legs that look like celery sticks dangling from his arse.Do any of us really look like this?

our copy landed on the doormat on monday - what is up with that cover picture? so glad its not just us weirded out by this!

What i find weird is that only his front leg is lady-leg - the back on looks shady and potentially hairy.

Terrible terrible photoshop job especially for such a big title - head clearly doesn't belong on that body!

i appreciate action shots may need some touching up, but this is pretty extreme!

Haha. My boyfriend thought the same thing and on closer inspection I have to agree. It's surprising he can run at all without gravity taking hold of his head and flipping him upside down.
