New from Oiselle: The 7 Layer Burrito Suit
Social
behind-the-scenes
Marathoners! Fret no more about what to wear on race day. With Oiselle’s all-new 7-Layer Burrito Suit, your race day apparel decision making is over. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!
LAYER 1. Don’t worry about finding a sacrificial garment in your drawer to dispose of in the first mile. With the 7-Layer Burrito Suit, you will receive your very own ill-fitting, donation-pile-quality garment ready to rock your run.
LAYER 2. The arm warmers. Once Layer 1 comes off, Layer 2 says, “Watch out, I’m here to pass children, grand parents, baby joggers and absolutely everyone in a cotton t-shirt.”
LAYER 3. In addition to shielding your eyes from rain and sun, hats reduce the likelihood of every race pic being deemed “bad-hair-day-wild.”
LAYER 4. Preferably, your base layer should communicate your club affiliation, your sense of style or your politically incorrect humor.
LAYER 5. Shorts...these babies should have the carrying capabilities of a hobo bag with the silhouette of a runway model. And please, sweat marks should be the least of your worries. As our friend Emily says, “All sweat is good sweat.”
LAYER 6. If you’ve been training for a Spring marathon, consider wearing tights. Neither you or your fellow racers may be ready to see your legs.
LAYER 7. Compression socks! Because only a garment this ugly could actually have functional benefits.
So get out there girlfriends and peel the burrito! Because when all is said and run -- it’s BFF TIME!

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.
