// Publisher notes //

In issue 40, we take a look at some of the most important issues in running in the past 10 years and ask “What’s changed… and what’s next?”

• Black Lives Matter: how far does our sport have to go to become truly representative of the global population?
• Women in running: speaking to six pioneering voices about our sport’s stance on recognising female athletes
• Super shoes: carbon plate, special foam… what we put on our feet has really transformed since 2014
• Record breakers: are records important to running’s popularity and success? And when will that sub-two-hour marathon happen in an organised race?
• Story time: well-known runners and the Like the Wind team choose their favourite stories from the past decade

It’s why we run.
