Running fitness is the magazine produced by real runners, for real runners. It's for men and women interested in running facts - not fitness fads - and is the first stop every month for those that want to read about the latest training techniques, nutrition developments, injury prevention advice, motivation tactics and, of course, the gear that will help them run faster, further and stronger.

*Calls are to a standard BT landline. You can cancel at any time in writing in the first three months and £3 will be your only commitment. If you do NOT cancel, a regular quarterly payment will continue of £7.95 taken via direct debit. This is equivalent to a £2.65 per issue over a year (12 issues) - still a saving of more than 38% - and the direct debit can be cancelled at any time.
