"If the picture was taken by a Runner’s World employee and it was their property it would be a different story, but that’s not the case here."

Sorry, a spread like that would have only been shot for the Runner's World article, and paid for from conception; rights should go to the magazine because the photographer was literally on their payroll at the time.

You are suggesting “work for hire”. Any photographer worth his salt woudl reject a work for hire offer.
