Weekend Update March 2
Social
behind-the-scenes
This was a week of debuts.
- Jungle Chicken made her hilarious debut on the Oiselle blog with "Things About Myself I Don't Want to Know"
- AND the Game Day Short made it’s debut, another style to save you from poofy, unflattering shorts! #winning
And it is a weekend of last chances
- NCAA Last Chance meets bring out the runners, and bring down the records.
- Last chance becomes a hopeful new start for Oiselle threads left over from the Sample Sale as they make their way to local running groups, high school teams, charities … thanks to the brilliant @drlesko and @oiselle_team for tackling the project.
So birds, what’s going on in your corner of the world? Any debuts? Any last 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.
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.
