‘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. In this issue’s lead story, you’ll find words by Micah Ling on the interplay of ‘performance, pay and power’ in professional sport. As well as examining the hurdles faced by athletes seeking to earn a living without making major sacrifices to appease brands, she also offers an alternative vision of sponsorship to strive (or, indeed, stride) towards. Elsewhere, Alex Murphy sits down with the artist and runner Zach Litoff; veterinarian Karla Borland writes about the transferable skills she gains from a regular running schedule; Alexis Berg introduces his new documentary ‘Run Again’, shadowing Dave Pen, lead singer of Archive, as he attempted 2023’s edition of the 268 mile Spine Race; plus, more poetry, world-wide stories and illustrations inside. likethewindmagazine.com
