Best Of Jasyoga
Big goals aren’t achieved overnight. The bigger the goal, the longer the road. What you do each day is an investment to be cashed in down the road. Part of the investment is the training — the miles, the speed work, the lifting, the drills. But the secret to optimizing your effort is to stay balanced even as you work hard. As runners, we can best accomplish this by investing in pre-hab and recovery, recognizing that what we do when we're not running can be just as important and equally as productive as our mileage. Ultimately, sustaining balance increases our durability and resilience, which we need to do big things.
We love how many #wheelsup17 goals involve our yoga partner, Jasyoga. We've partnered with #athletesforyoga leader Erin Taylor over the years to bring practical yoga solutions to your real running and life needs and we're seeing runners of all kinds become more balanced and resilient as a result.

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.
