The freedom to run
In issue 48 of Like the Wind, we escape onto the trails, tracks, roads and into the mountains, searching for freedom. Some find it by running far, some by running fast. Some build communities and break down the barriers that stop them from accessing their own freedom. But we all seek it.
Our featured article, ‘A question of scale’ by Emma Cole, takes a deep dive into how races grow from amateur beginnings to world class events. She believes that a race’s success ultimately comes down to emotion: “The passion for running comes down to how it makes us feel… We’re all seeking that human feeling and I hope that never changes.” And in our pick of articles, ‘The rise of the 200 miler’, we explore the recent growth of ultras that push the boundaries of endurance to a point where reality collapses - but can be exhilarating. As David Bone writes in ‘Lucky 13’: “We’d done it – not just the miles, but the madness.”
This 130-page magazine brings together a fascinating series of stories from our community. Writers, photographers, illustrators – all passionate runners who have something to say about why we run. Our stories are global in reach; they have been hand-picked to showcase both the diversity of contemporary running and what unites us all.
