Like The Wind is a quarterly magazine made by runners for runners, sharing stories and experiences from around the world.
What grabbed us about this issue…
Issue 31 balances the pure joy of running with some important conversations about who gets to take part. We kept coming back to Tom Fairbrother’s profile of Diane Leather, the first woman to run a mile in under five minutes, whose achievement has been largely overlooked by history. If you love a travel story, you might enjoy a race through the jungle of Chiang Mai in Thailand, where aid stations overflow with local food and children cheer from the trailside. There’s also Dean Karnazes running ten marathons in ten days across Greece that’s worth a look if you’re drawn to running’s ancient roots.
Who’s Like The Wind for?
Like The Wind takes a different approach to running, moving away from performance and focusing more on the reasons behind it. This would suit you if you’re interested in the culture, history and wider conversations around running. There’s a real sense of community throughout, with original artwork, photography and contributions from runners themselves. It’s one to pick up when you want to slow things down and think about running in a different way.
