Run Love Challenge #4: Run Discovered

Training

As runners, we are creatures of habit. If we’re not careful we might find ourselves eating the same things and running the same routes, day in and day out. While this lifestyle may be necessary for consistency in training, it can make for a pretty boring existence. This week we’re challenging you to live a little: go out and explore undiscovered territory.

Take your run lover and go...

Over a river.

Through the woods.

If you’re in a distance run love relationship, go explore on your own and share a photo with the hashtag: #runlovechallenge

For all the repeat loop lovers out there, fear not! Your loop will be there when you get back.

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.
