Behind the Scenes: Mesh Tank and New Models
Social
behind-the-scenes
A couple weeks ago our good friend, runner and now Mountain State Oiselle rep, Sarah K, came out to Seattle for a the Kingston Adventure's ReTREAT. She had a day to spend in Seattle and somehow I convinced her to model a couple pieces in the line we didn't have photos of. I mean convince is a strong word. I think she was here at Oiselle HQ before I was done with the question. Ahh the lure of the camera.
Jen Bigham has also been here for part of the summer, so naturally I asked her too. It's always nice to have fabulous runner ladies (both moms, no less) on hand for impromptu photo shoots.
One of the pieces I needed them to model the new Oiselle Mesh Tank. The Mesh Tank is new for late summer season. The same light, super wicking fabric used in the much loved Simplicity Tank, this top is ready for heat. For real. I typically like to wear just a sports bra in the heat, but that kind of stands out in Seattle so I shy away from it. This tank is like running sans shirt. Which is why I now have three.
Even Jen's little one tried her hand at some action modeling. I wish I could say we're selling that headband.
During our studio shoot for Fall 12 I paired the running tank with long sleeved tops, like the stripey. Turns out it’s a great base layer that adds a pop of color. I love getting summer clothes that transition to fall and spring. Maximize the budget, maximize the space in the running threads drawer!

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.
