Chasing dreams one mile at a time

In issue 46 of Like the Wind, we explore the culture of running at a unique moment. More of us are out there on the trails, track and roads, chasing dreams and finding our tribe. But as running grows, it’s time to ask questions. Is it working for everyone? How can we ensure a more equitable future for athletes?

In our headline story, Performance, pay, power, Micah Ling investigates what it actually takes to get paid as an athlete: “athletes are often looking to brand contracts in order to maintain a salary, or working other jobs to make ends meet.” And in Movement is art, Alex Murphy speaks to Zach Litoff, whose new book The Last Olympic Trials documents a moment of profound change in track athletics. “I don’t think it will ever be the same. And I don’t think that’s bad. But I don’t think anyone is talking about it.”

Throughout 130 pages, beautifully illustrated with photography, bespoke commissioned artwork and creative mixed media, this issue of Like the Wind celebrates the spirit of running in all its diversity – from the cutting edge of performance to personal challenge and weekend club meets, from London to Paris to Nairobi to New York.

A snapshot of the many stories in issue 46:

• Three Sundays in NYC: Wilson Carletti runs the NYC Marathon, and pays forward a kindness.
• Beast coast: Sarah Carney on why the epic trails of the US East Coast “kind of knock the wind out of you”.
• Nairobi glory: Amadou Diop takes us out on Kenya’s trails, where the partying is as important as the performance.
• Authentic phenomena: Josh Greet blends trail running, folk horror visuals and sci-fi to create otherworldly photos.
• Catwalk, catrun: what do the worlds of running and high fashion have in common? And what is there in this world for the ordinary runner?
• A sense of whole: Talia Ruxin, recovering from injury, seeks healing and answers at Walden Pond.
• Chills down the spine: Alexis Berg on his new documentary film, all about Dave Penn’s run on the winter edition of the Spine Race.

Running has something for everyone and the stories in LtW#46 reflect that. Whether on the road, track or trail, the stories are captivating, inspiring and thought-provoking. All delivered in a high-quality package that is a pleasure to hold and read.

It’s why we run.
