‘It’s why we run’
Like the Wind brings together stories for, by, and about people who run. This isn't a magazine about how to run; but why. The perfect place for those looking for community and a little inspiration to lace up their shoes; whether for the first time or just the first time in a while.
Like The Wind #47 platforms holistic and emotive perspectives on running and is less concerned with the usual competitive culture—here, running is no longer just a group race or race against one’s own pb; it’s a spiritual activity, a means to shared connection and bodily presence through non-racing events like running festivals, holidays, and multi-day adventures. Inside, you’ll find an uplifting interview with ex-DJ Mikey Kratzer, providing a backstory to his upcoming documentary about his solo run from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and reflecting on his path from swapping the party life for sobriety and finding a high through the simplicity of long-distance running. Plus, illustrator Claudine O’Sullivan shares her journey with running, from an initial few laps around the park to hitting 10km, facilitating artistic breakthroughs through achieving a dreamlike state.
