\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \t\t\t\t\tHarry Styles on the Cover of \u2018Runner\u2019s World\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhotograph by Laura Jane Coulson\/Runner\u2019s World<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tStyles revealed his running routine, consisting of electrolytes over water to prevent peeing beforehand, then hydrating during the marathon. And in one very relatable quote, he says that prior to every long run he eats \u201cthe biggest croissant I can find.\u201d He also discussed being spotted while running in public: \u201cI think with people who see me, it\u2019s a bit more \u2018Was that\u2026?\u2019 rather than, \u2018Oh look it\u2019s him!\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cAnd by that time, you\u2019re already gone.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe also opened up about the isolation he has felt due to his fame, and how he has protected himself, at times too much. \u201cOver the years, I had to say no to everything I was invited to, whether it was a friend\u2019s birthday, a trip somewhere amazing, an opening,\u201d he said. \u201cI started to wonder if I was saying no because I really was so busy or because it was more comfortable than saying yes. When you close yourself off to protect yourself from people who might bring negativity into your life, you\u2019re also missing out on positive experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tStyles changed this after he turned 30 in 2024, and decided to travel \u2014 particularly to Berlin, where he fell into the nightclub scene. \u201cI wanted to recreate [what] I had on the dance floor, being lost in instrumentation and the musicality,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was so immersive, like, this is how I want to feel when I\u2019m on stage too. I don\u2019t want it to feel like a sermon I\u2019m delivering. I wanted it to feel like, oh, we\u2019re in this music together. Like I\u2019m in it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLaura Jane Coulson\/Runner\u2019s World<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tHe also told Murakami how the author\u2019s books have shaped him and his outlook on life, especially the way that Murakami finds beauty in simple, everyday moments. \u201cOne of my favorite things you ever wrote was, don\u2019t feel sorry for yourself, only assholes do that,\u201d he said. \u201cSomething else I like in your work is the poetry of simple things, like how you describe sitting down to eat breakfast, or having a beer. That has definitely influenced the small moments that I take to myself when I sit down and appreciate the everyday things in front of me. It changes the way that you see the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tThe two artists also discussed where their mind goes when they run. Murakami, who says his new novel will arrive this summer, admits his mind is \u201ckind of empty\u201d during a run, while Styles says he\u2019s able to process his life and art more clearly. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe thing that I\u2019ve found, in the rest of my life but particularly in running, is the idea of trusting myself to do exactly what I say I\u2019m going to do,\u201d he says. \u201cTo say to myself, I know that you can do something difficult, and that you can get up and train when you don\u2019t want to train, and that you\u2019re able to push through hard things. Having that kind of self-integrity \u2014 no one can run a marathon for you. Whereas there are a lot of people who help me make music, put the music out, put on a show and make me look good at it! But running is a conversation with myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
