Oiselle Flock - Get Connected
Updated: 9/17/2014
In mid-July, by starting The Flock, we were lucky enough to welcome 200+ new team members from all over the country and outside the US! Part of our mission is not just to create great product, but also to connect as many runners as possible, with us -- and even more importantly, with each other.
Fortunately, there are an amazing array of tools for runners to meet up and keep in touch! You can track mileage, find teammates, plan a group run, or schedule a race from alomost anywhere. Below are a slew of options to help you stay in touch with us -- and find run friends.
CONNECT ON FACEBOOK
We have created regional Oiselle Flock groups as an easy way to communicate with your teammates and create event meet-ups. Once you join The Flock you will recieve an invitation from your regional leader to join the group.
TRAIN WITH STRAVA
Join the Oiselle Runners Strava Group: track your training with Oiselle runners, strive to make the leaderboard, and stay motivated by your teammates' training. Visit the "How it Works" tab to learn more and get started.
PLAN RACES ON GAMETIIME
Like a race calendar in the sky! Log your past and future races using Gametiime. Gametiime, a Seattle company, lets you browse all upcoming races across the country by date and location, choose races, and see where others are racing. In your bio, feel free to list yourself as a Oiselle runner to help find each other. See the Oiselle Runners page (join by clicking "Join Group" on top right corner of the page) and Oiselle Upcoming Races.
CONNECT ON TWITTER
Subscribe to the Oiselle Flock Twitter list, and you'll instantly be able to follow all tweets sent out by that group. If you don't see yourself listed as a member of the list, DM us @oiselle and we'll add you pronto. Finally, here's a few hashtags we recommend to stay connected.
- #oiselleflock: general hashtag when talking to Flock runners
- #oiselleflock + your state: #oiselleflockWA or #oiselleflockNY to connect by state
- Tag #flystyle to photos in your fast, new Oiselle gear! Your look will likely be pulled into our gallery and show on our website.
As we grow, we'd love to hear from you, so please let us know if you have questions, comments or input. And we hope to see you out on the track, roads or trail!

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. Hear from Madie Boreman, Kendra Coleman, Brenna Detra, Carmen Pelar Graves, and Ari Hendrix-Roach.
