We’re vibing on a theme here at the Nest: Bold Alone. Better Together. We build and thrive with people who are different from ourselves. People who are willing to hear our opinions, understand our positions, and even offer alternatives. People who push our limits and make us stronger. Our differences help us explore, connect, grow. Our differences make us a sum greater than our parts. Alone, we are bold. But together, we are better.

Mix Don't Match Challenge

1. Choose a person in your life who inspires you, pushes you to be better, and/or runs alongside you through the process. Some ideas:

  • Your Muse: the person who inspires you to be great through their own work. 
  • Your Mentor: the person who leads you through life’s challenges and pushes you to be a better version of yourself.
  • Your Main Squeeze: the person who is there for you through it all. The whole journey. Highs and lows.

2. Share your #mixdontmatch run pal on either Twitter or Instagram. Bonus: photo included. 

3. Remember to use hashtag #mixdontmatch, tag @oiselle and your run pal.

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.
