American Running Association
www.americanrunning.org

The American Running Assciation is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to supporting runners by providing accurate and non-biased information related to training, nutrition, injury prevention and treatment. Their programs are designed for beginning and experienced runners alike. The site was very professional in appearance, but the credentials of the staff were unimpressive. This made it hard to believe in the information presented.

The site provides many articles on fitness for the general public, but its main emphasis is on membership. Another purpose of the site is to sell products. However, since the site is for a nonprofit organization it has a .org suffix. The site's articles on fitness all come from print magazines such as Men's Health and Fitness, but most of them are password protected. The site also provides many fitness related links to reputable sources such as the U.S. Track and Field site. I could not find any bias on the site because none of the information presented had any type of motive behind it. The information was factual or instructional.
