I'll be honest about this: mostly I read Runner's World for the pictures. Sometimes, though, there is something useful, like this article about how to approach the final 10k of a marathon. "Treat the marathon as three separate entities, says Durden: That is, two 10-milers and a 10-K. The first is a training run, in which you chat with other runners, enjoy the scenery, and try to ignore the fact that you're in a race. The next is a transition, in which you gradually bring your focus inside. It's only in the last 10-K that you should enter race mode."
