Jonathan Beverly

Jonathan Beverly fell in love with running as an unathletic but persistent high school freshman in the fall of 1977. He's never stopped. His passion for the sport compelled him to write about it while pursuing other careers, eventually leading to his becoming Editor in Chief of Running Times magazine from 2000 to 2015. During those years he wrote a popular monthly editor's note, more than 35 feature stories and dozens of training articles, athlete profiles, race reports, and shoe and gear reviews. He coached adult runners with the New York Road Runners in the 1990s and has coached junior high and high school cross country and track during the past 12 years. His books and articles reflect his depth of knowledge and love for the sport, as well as his continual quest to answer "why" and "so what?"
