METER - Kevin Morby "Spirits Run Free”
We had the chance to visit Kevin at his home studio. We discussed how it has affected his connection to the world around him, how it fits into his creative process, the romantic poetry of sports, Jeff Buckley, butterflies, and signs from the beyond. While his presence grows bigger with each release, he finds himself in familiar cities, viewing them through a new lens as a runner. "We're returning to all these cities that I've been to a million times before and to have these beautiful runs where I've seen parts of the city I've never seen before, they are now so memorable to me. Through downtown El Paso, downtown Little Rock, downtown Pittsburgh, it’s just become this great adventure.”
The feed - The Hand that feeds
There’s a beauty in the way a peloton sustains itself. A network of bodies and brains, all looking after one another in micro-movements. Feeds, hand-slings, hushed cues in the wind. To ride the Tour is to know hunger in every form. To feed another rider? That’s a sacred thing.
It’s knowing your job is to give something away, so that someone else can take a shot at history.
The feed - The Simplicity of effort
There are no shortcuts in endurance sport. There is, however, rhythm. The best days on the bike don't start when the wheels turn. They begin long before. When the kit is still laid out like a quiet promise on the edge of that one chair in the corner of your room. You know the one, with that tender morning dapple on it. When the bottle cages are still bone dry. When you check the weather three times, knowing you'll go out anyway.

Like The Wind - Thanks For The Space
In issue 27 of running magazine Like the Wind, we dig into amazing stories of the impact running has on people’s lives.
Our cover story explores running clubs inside penitentiaries in the United States. We hear how those behind bars have found a lifeline through multi-lap marathons and meet the people volunteering their time to set up prison running clubs.
We also hear about the Black Trail Runners, a group in the UK dedicated to making running off-road as accessible for Black and other minority people as possible.
