Marathon Madness Review

Racing

The end of September was full of excitement with the start of our Marathon Madness season! Last week was jam-packed with fun contests all culuminating with the announcement of the fabulous Stephanie Bruce to the Oiselle run family. We are continuing to follow some of our Olympic Trials hopefuls with our Standard Chasers blog and on top of that finding great joy following so many of you and your racing accomplishments through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Not only that but I walked away from this weekend with an even bigger sense of pride in this country's run community: So many people out there volunteering, cheering on and supporting each other toward their goals. Here are some of the highlights of the last three weeks of racing:

Rock and Roll Philadelphia Half

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen

I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.

Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird

This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.

Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes

We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes.
