Great article and conversation. Sent it to my gf since she likes Harry Styles too. I don’t know why anyone would complain about him being on the cover. Yeah, he’s not setting records (outside of music), but he’s absurdly famous and released his long awaited album today, which will get more people to pick up RW who otherwise wouldn’t. If you read RW, you’re gonna get it anyway.
Not to mention that it was a legitimately insightful, interesting conversation between two people who love running just as much as the rest of us here. The juxtaposition between a 77 year old Japanese author sitting down with a 30 year old English musician (who have never met), yet immediately hit it off because of a shared love of running (despite not talking about training or workouts at all) is fantastic on its own.
