I like the lead and introduction for this article. It gets straight to the point, the "meat" of the story... Like other how-to articles we've read, this article is not bogged down by number after number reciting the calorie counts of various foods.
Instead, I feel the writer does a great job in utilizing sources. She has interviewed real experts and the quotes reveal a lot of information.
The structure of the article works well in that a reader can quickly maneuver to whichever tips they wish to read. However, it did seem a bit monotonous to me. I became bored and found myself skipping valuable information. The recipes at the end also don't seem to fit. I don't know how this looked in the magazine, but I feel these recipes may have been better suited as a different section or some kind of sidebar.
Lastly, I feel that the writer should focus more on the impact this diet has on running. What makes this diet specifically better in regards to a runner? I feel like she just says it works "well for runners" but doesn't explain why.
