The true scale of dedication to a goal often goes unseen. As does running in places, societies or scenarios where the act of running itself carries a degree of risk. Yet, despite the challenges, despite all the reasons not to run, we still do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur feature story, \u003cem\u003eUltra-addiction\u003c\/em\u003e by Micah Ling, takes a compassionate look at the unseen psychological edge of running performance. She explores the complex relationship between substance addiction, obsession, disordered eating, and exercise dependency: “If you’re stuck in a contract with yourself that you’re ready to renegotiate, you’re not alone.” Jeremy Kuhles investigates why women’s Ekiden is overshadowed by men’s: “The essence of Ekiden, I realised, isn’t something you explain. It’s something you feel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis magazine brings together a wide range of both written and visual stories from our global community.
