‘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.
This edition explores both the highs and the often unspoken complexities of running culture. Inside, articles examine the sport’s psychological dimensions, opening up candid conversations about exercise dependency, substance addiction and overcoming injuries safely. Elsewhere, hear from ultra-marathon runners, hill-racers and cross-country competitors on what it takes to compete in these gruelling feats of athleticism. Plus, this issue looks at running communities across countries and religions, from Ekiden long-distance relay races in Japan to the run clubs in the UK bringing together women from South Asian and Muslim backgrounds.
