Most read in 2014
In our 2014 review we published links to AW coverage from the past 12 months as a reminder of the biggest news in the world of the sport this year, but which articles were most viewed by Athletics Weekly readers?
Below you'll find a list of the top 20 most popular features on athleticsweekly.com in 2014, led by physio Dave O'Sullivan's performance article on why you might be best to blank the plank. A follow-up piece to that article - Why it still might be best to blank the plank - also features in the top 20 most-viewed stories of the year.
The second most read was an article in which scientists reiterated that the effects of doping could be lifelong, while third on the list is another performance feature, but this time one on the dreaded "runner's tummy".
