In late 2019, over the course of several months, I followed and photographed runner and (then) beverage director of Mission Chinese and Wild Air Sam Anderson as he prepared for the 2020 Boston Marathon. Combined with words written by Sam before each workout, these images portray the personal and physical stuggles of training for a marathon while facing the ghosts of the past.
Due to Covid-19 lockdowns the 2020 Boston Marathon never happened, and Sam’s
training haulted, as did our project. This project was comissioned by Tracksmith.
