Run Love Challenge #6: Final Challenge
Run lovers, we are nearing the end of our six-week challenge. What an incredible start to 2016!
Take a look at everything you accomplished…
Week one: we set goals and made plans.
@featherstephens, @jackelizabethk + @amy_bailey
Week two: we strengthened our love for the run.
@oiselle_mac and @jennharowicz + @kepi37
Week three: we went on a speed date.
Week four: we run-discovered new routes.
@happytrigirl + @3drunner
Week five: we whipped up some love in the kitchen.
Our final challenge this week is to send your run lover a Valentine! But not any 'ol Valentine. Before sending, make a list of all of the challenges you accomplished over the past couple of weeks and pick one challenge or goal that you plan to take on for the rest of 2016. Write it down, and share it with your run lover.
We encourage you to check back in with your run lover throughout the year and send each other little bits of runspiration to keep the motivation high and the love for the run alive. Good luck to all running a Valentine's dash this weekend. Let your run love fly!

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.
