From The Design Team: Things That Go Well Together
Some things were meant to go together. And when you see it, you know it!
Running clothes? We see two routes to synergy: first, put clothes on your body, go run. Getting out the door always trumps outfit coordination. But the second has a bit of art to it. The art of the motivational outfit. The thought that goes into it, like prepping for a big moment, a date with run love. And if that’s your vibe, spring is in the air, and you’re feelin’ it - get busy with some killer combos. The looks we know work together because, well, we designed them that way. And also because they’re tried and true. Like Tina and Amy. Like cake and frosting - these combos are ready to take the guesswork out of getting ready for the run and rumble.
Aha. The sun has been spotted! The air has a hint of warmth...but winter still nips with icy teeth. What’s a spring runner to do? Long Sleeves and Short Shorts. A well loved combo that combines optimism and realism. The optimism of warming air, moving legs, and the promise of rising temps - with the realism of the seasoned runner you’re becoming. To make this look even more versatile, add a tank under the long sleeve so that if you really heat up, you can go wings out. Your legs know the way - just run! Our favorites include the Flyout Mile One + Go Tank + Mac Roga Shorts, Shade Long Sleeve + Portman Shorts, or Flyte Long Sleeve + Flyout Shorts.
Bring on the bloom and the color and the fun spring hues! Sometimes warm weather running is a state of mind, and colors and patterns are the mood boost to get you out the door. The Flyte styles (Tank and Long Sleeve) are perennial favorites. Just add Spandos, either in neutrals or bright color, and the entire look becomes springtime show time. Warmer climes opt for two lengths of Spandos Shorts, while the Spandos Capri provides coverage, but is still ultra lightweight.
When spring has fully arrived, and the arms are out - what a glorious feeling! Yes, your legs might do most to the work, but your upper body needs its support - and style. Combining all the different types of sports bra straps with combos in tanks gives you tons of versatility - and a beautiful way to welcome spring fully into your life. A few of our favorites this season include the Ballard Bra + Shade Tank, the Team Bra + Hawkeye Tank, or the Lesko Bra + Backstory Shirt.
Athletic clothes. They’re not just for sweating anymore. They’re for traveling, working, walking, jumping, scootering, or stop, drop and reading. As the weather warms up, we highly recommend the Roga Skirt or Roga Long Skirt with pretty much anything. Just add a Wazzie Wool Tank and denim. Or throw on the Gallery Short Sleeve Top with jeans and Birks. Or wear the world’s easiest, most comfortable dress [WITH POCKETS] the Roga Dress. Ready to get away? Pack your bag with a single dress, such as the Mio Mesh Dress or Rabbit Dress that are impervious to wrinkles.
Like running + friendship - here’s to things that go well together!

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
