I recently sat down with my good friend and  frequent podcast guest Simon Freeman , the co-founder, editor, and publisher of my favorite running magazine,  Like The Wind , for our first quarterly conversation of 2025, which you can listen to wherever you get  the morning shakeout  podcast. An excerpt of this exchange can be found in Issue #44 of  LtW , which comes out this week. (You can buy a copy or subscribe  here .)
