Description

Like the Wind is my favorite running magazine. It's printed on paper, beautifully illustrated and incredibly well written, and it tells stories about runners, from all walks of life, gender and color, no matter how fast or slow they run.
Simon Freeman is the editor and publisher of Like the Wind. 
In this episode we talk about running - anytime and anywhere - and why running can be a catalyst for understanding our human condition.
We talk about the values of Like the Wind: diversity, independency, inclusion, honesty
We talk about the culture and the history of running, why it's important to give more credits and recognition to the elite athletes, listening to them, putting their interests in the center of our attention as they strive to push the sport forward.
We give a view on the current running media landscape, the evolution of written and online press and the way we consume information, and how Like the Wind is navigating through all that.
We also talk about the uncomfortable and ugly things related to running and why it's important to talk about them, something that Like the Wind does in a very interesting way. 
Get inspired. It's not how to run, it's why we run
