EDITOR’S LETTER

IT’S SOMETIMES EASY TO

take your runs for granted. Although I think the saying ‘you never regret a run’ is true, I can also be guilty of allowing some runs to feel a bit, well, routine, maybe on a route that I’ve run many times before. Before Covid, running round Hyde Park most lunchtimes at work had me feeling like I was just seeing the same sights day after day. But after being unable to enjoy it for large parts of the pandemic, when I go there now I make sure that I appreciate what a beautiful place it is – and how lucky I am to be able to enjoy it.

I was reminded of this by three inspirational pieces in this month’s issue, all of which have running as freedom at their core. On page 54, we speak to visually impaired and hearing loss runners on overcoming the challenges they face in pursuing the activity they love, and the difference being active makes to their physical and mental health. On page 24, we meet four Ukrainian runners who are continuing their training as a method of coping during a uniquely terrifying time. Finally, on page 30, we interview ultrarunner (and former RW cover star) Sabrina Pace-Humphreys about how she found freedom on the trails after experiencing rural racism when growing up and later struggles with depression. All of them show us that running is not just a physical act, but a state of mind.
