Distance running is inherently contradictory. It's a calculated discipline developed over years, yet it in one instant can become an act of faith. It is empowering as it is humbling. A self-expression and a mirror onto oneself. It is constant. It is fickle. It is success. It is failure. It is surprise. It is disappointment. It is intensely personal. It is shared by many. This is an archive as much as it is a celebration of the expanse running has to offer and the countless ways in which it can stretch the soul.
