Journal

For the distance between two thoughts.

"I've never finished a long run thinking my life was a mess. I've started plenty of them that way. The SALTY Journal is for the distance between those two thoughts."


Latest Journal #5

SALTY Journal 05 started where trailrunning gets interesting: somewhere between a spreadsheet, a snowline, and a bad idea with excellent views. Guaresti, Kenya, gravity, Elsey, Mikey, Dan Green, seasons ending, systems bending. The sport asked questions. We printed the symptoms.

Unsolicited opinions

Ya Boy Scott Jurek, 7× finisher of the Robinson Flat Rd Climb Strava segment

"People ask what keeps me going during my favourite Strava segment. Honestly? Knowing that eventually it stops. The SALTY Journal is the only place that's made that sound beautiful."

Lorenzo M., supporter since Volume 2

"I've subscribed to many things in my life. Most of them were mistakes. This was not."

Michelle O., knows the address

"I've spoken at universities, the United Nations, and the Democratic National Convention. Nothing prepared me for reading about someone's 3am low in a mountain hut near Innsbruck and crying about it."

Felix W., plates still waiting

"I have all issues in a specific order on my shelf. I have moved flats twice. The Journal came before the good plates. This is the correct priority order. Five stars."

Stefan G., editing

"We started a magazine about trailrunning because we thought we had something to say. Five issues in, we mostly just have questions."

Jane Doe, just loves it

“I absolutely love the quality of my Leo Bikini Bottoms.”

Maria B., Moby Dick waiting

"I've had the same copy of Moby Dick on my nightstand since 2019. The Journal arrives, gets read in two sittings, and returns to the shelf completed. I don't know what this says about me. Four stars."

Julia N., Mum took it

"My mother doesn't run. She found issue three on the kitchen table, took it to her room, and returned it two days later with a sticky note on the interview pages that said 'this one'. She is seventy-one. Five stars."

David H., did the maths

"Three issues a year. That is one every seventeen weeks. I have done this maths several times, hoping I was wrong. One star. I am not saying it isn't worth it."

Tom S., legs not pleased

"I read the opening essay on a Tuesday evening. I was out the door by six the next morning for a run I hadn't planned. My legs were not pleased. My brain was fine with it. Five stars."

Laura K., rereads, slightly annoyed

"I've read volume four three times. Not because I forgot what it said. Because it says something different each time. Three stars because I find this slightly inconvenient."

Anna M., knows what lasts

"My phone has 4,000 unread notifications. The Journal has a coffee ring on the cover from an October morning I remember clearly. I know which one I'll still have in ten years. Five stars."

Max F., didn't tell them

"I ordered it as a gift. It arrived two days before the birthday. I read it. I ordered a second copy for myself and did not tell the recipient. Four stars. This is who I am, apparently."

Three Journals a year, before anyone else. Your name in print — which sounds small until you realise most people go their entire lives without it. Ten percent off merch. A sticker sheet, annually, for reasons we've stopped questioning. €49. Less than a race entry. More satisfying than most of them. And unlike most race entries, it gets better with time.
