The distance never changes. Twenty-six miles and 385 yards, whether you run it through a city centre or up the side of a mountain. What changes is what you look at while you cover it, and in a few cases the entire point of the day. These are runs for the setting: a closed coast road in California, the vineyards of the Médoc, a moraine below the Eiger. Several are harder than any city marathon. All of them are slower, which is rather the idea. Most take a ballot, a flight, or both, and entries tend to open a year ahead.

The World's Most Beautiful Marathons

Hello!
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the things that quietly inspire you without making a huge song and dance about it.
Not necessarily the big, life-changing moments. More the restaurant you leave already planning your return to before the bill’s even arrived. A book that makes disappearing from society feel oddly glamorous. A hotel suite so layered and atmospheric you briefly convince yourself you could move to Rome and spend your days sketching in cafés. Those sorts of things.
The things that shift your mood slightly. Make you want to host more. Cook differently. Book the trip. Rearrange a room. Romanticise your life a little bit harder.
I suppose that’s always what I’m drawn to in the end - places and people and ideas that make everyday life feel more considered, more beautiful, more alive.
So here’s a little collection of what’s inspired me lately. A bit interiors, a bit food, a bit escapism. Exactly as it should be.
