The Invisible Miles
In issue 49 of Like the Wind, we explore aspects of running culture that are less visible, but no less important. The true extent of commitment to a goal often goes unseen. So too does the act of running in places, societies, or contexts where the act of running itself carries a degree of risk. Yet despite the challenges, despite all the reasons not to run, we keep on running.
Our feature article, ‘Ultra-addiction’ by Micah Ling, casts a compassionate eye on the hidden psychological dimension of running performance. She explores the complex relationship between substance abuse, obsession, eating disorders, and exercise addiction: “If you’re stuck in a contract with yourself that you’re ready to renegotiate, you are not alone.” Jeremy Kuhles examines why the women’s Ekiden is overshadowed by the men’s: “I realised that the essence of Ekiden is not something to be explained. It’s something to be felt.”
This magazine gathers a wide range of written and visual stories from our global community. Whether you enjoy deep, insightful reads, hard-hitting news stories, or the impact of a road marathon photo essay, this issue of Like the Wind brings it all together: the windswept trail, the roaring cheers of race day, the focus and rhythm of the track.
