So, what is burning a hole through my racing notebook this week? Besides the HOT sample sale at HQ on Saturday...what is sizzling in the racing world?

This week I am going to highlight a couple of my personal favorites - ones that I am extra excited to watch and hear about...

Friday February 22rd Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championship Seattle, WA

Women's DMR - 7:00pm PT

2012 NCAA Indoor DMR Champions-UW Lady Dawgs
Sunday February 24th World's Best 10k  Puerto Rico

Oiselle Elite Deanna Ardrey - CO
Sunday February 24th Rock and Roll New Orleans Marathon and Half Marathon New Orleans, LA

13.1 - Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher

26.2 - Oiselle Ambassador Holly Batchelder 

As a female distance runner and track nerd, I love to watch these two training partners and teammates race together again: Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher...and in the same city in the marathon, I am hoping that one of our own, Holly Batchelder has a super race..this being the goal race that she has been working toward for several months!

 

If you are looking to watch some of the best high school athletes in the country, stop by the UW's Dempsey Indoor meet on Sunday night or watch coverage on Flotrack:

Sunday February 24th Brooks PR Meet Seattle, WA

3:30pm - 6:45pm PT

 

Go Fast. Take Chances!

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.

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.
