POSSESSED IS POSSESSED
June 2024
Welcome to POSSESSED number 54: The POSSESSED is POSSESSED issue.
This issue is all about the phenomenon of running obsession. Initially, we were thinking of calling it POSSESSED is OBSESSED, but decided on POSSESSED is POSSESSED because it just looks better, and there’s less chance of people thinking this publication is called OBSESSED Magazine, which just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Running really is an activity that, once it gets its teeth into you, becomes an all-consuming passion bordering on bewitchment. For myself, becoming infected with the running bug has become a genuine obsession. I mean, look at me. I work for a running apparel company based in France. Had someone come up to me in 2014 and said, ‘In a decade, you will be the editor of a running publication with its headquarters based in France,’ I would have called you a witch and attacked you with a sock full of nickels—but here I am. Happily running and writing about running. It’s a funny old life, isn’t it?
In this POSSESSED is POSSESSED issue of POSSESSED, your eyes will drink up a delicious interview with Satisfy pro athlete and near quadruple-figure running streak legend Max Jolliffe; then we’ll share our five-point guide to knowing if you are POSSESSED by running; then there’s an interview with Dr. Heather A. Hausenblas, author of The Truth About Exercise Addiction; after that, we have a recipe for Turbo Town Gnar-Gnar Power Pancakes™, and Erchana Murray-Bartlett lets us snoop around in her phone. Towards the backend of the POSSESSED is POSSESSED issue of POSSESSED, pro skater Austyn Gillette does Your Running Stars (what?), we explain Run Clubs to an alien, show you how to improve your running form, and then there’s a running playlist made by the POSSESSED Mag team! There’s also some other stuff and, of course, a generous scattering of dumb jokes. Why else would you be here?
We hope you enjoy POSSESSED number 54: The POSSESSED is POSSESSED issue.
x Jason.
