Portal® helped launch Kadens Journal Issue 01 in Paris with a run and morning coffee. Now the independent Nordic journal documenting endurance, movement, identity, and the environments that shape both is available to buy online.

Through long-form stories, photography and print, Kadens explores the culture surrounding running, trail, skiing and outdoor movement, beyond performance alone. Rooted in the north, printed slowly and published bi-annually.

The inaugural print edition journeys between Arctic races, Norwegian mountain landscapes, Swedish forests and the quiet repetition behind performance. Issue 01 features Whispers of Lapland, The Summit Is Not the Point, Above the Noise, A Running, Gathering Lifestyle and Nekrotrail — a portrait of Oslo's underground ultra-running scene. Profiles and conversations include Jakob Åberg ahead of Cocodona 250, Andreas Almgren on training and life at altitude, Sigve Knutson on movement and creative process, Patrick Stangby's relationship to the mountains, and a visual profile following Shanga Balendran through training and everyday rhythm.
