Triathlete Mag is the one for me. I have found a bunch of really useful training tips and the articles are very good also.

I like Inside Tri. I just like it more than Triathlete, can't really put my finger on it.

Triathlete Magazine. =) I've found some interesting and helpful articles in there.

We're definitely the magazine family: Triathlete, Inside Tri, Runner's World, Bicycling, Skiing, Tennis, Womens Health, Men's Health, Best Life, Her Sports. Can't say that one is my "favorite", though!

I read Triathlete, Outside, and Men's Journal. I'm more into the all'round lifestyle pubs.

Bicycling and Triathlete and once in a while I will pick up Mountain Bike Action to keep up with the latest and greatest off road stuff. I also like Golf magazine.

I like Triathlete and Runner's World. I think Runner's World offers the most "average Joe (or Josephine)" content. Though I like Triathlete and Inside Triathlon, I sometimes feel like they are written for people who have mega hours to train and mega bucks to spend on equipment. Anyone agree?

Primarily Triathlete, Inside Tri, Runners World and Bicycling. Also look at Silent Sports - a regional mag that has a good race calendar for the Midwest.

I'm a total magazine junky. Working 2 weeks on 6pm to 6 am every month gives you lots of free time at work to read. Triathlete, Inside Tri, Men's Health, Surfer, Surfing, Transworld Surf, and Rolling Stone. And those are just the ones I subscribe to. If you add in the Maxim, Stuff, and 15 other mags the other people on crew bring in there's plenty to read.
As for a favorite that's really hard. I guess I'd have to say it just depends on the articles..or girls..that month. It's usually between Inside Tri and Transworld Surf. Most of the others seem to be to driven by advertising. When the recommendations and workouts look more like an add than advice I start to get suspicious.

I started out running and got a subscription to Runners World,
I started doing tri and I started reading Triathlete and Inside Triathlon.
I also read Men's Health and Outside and have a subscription to them.

I go to the bookstore and check out the magazine racks too, sometimes getting Bicycling or a Mountain bike magazine

Yea, I like my magazines, but at times I begin to feel I have too many. I subscribe to Triathlete (anyone see the new girl thats with the mag now? Hubba hubba! :p), and Mens Health as far as fitness is concerned. Then I have Eurotuner, and Maxim. ;p

I'd have to agree with you here. Each month when i read Triatlete, it feels as if there's no other type of triathlon races than Ironman/Iron-distance. Although Triathele Magazine seems to be very Iron-focused, their training articles and features are very well written and illustrated and i can't wait for the next edition!

I also splash out on Runners World, Climber, Nat. Geo. Adventure, and Rock & Ice

I think reading any of the Tri or running mags get you into the lifestyle, even if you aren't doing the longer races. It just gets you psyched to do an event.
