Summer Days
Training
recover
Summer is my favorite season to run. Every season has its certain charm (except for spring in my opinion, spring is a turd). But summer is the bees knees. I'm in the best shape because of all the accidental cross training. Riding my bike all around, walking after dinner, kayaking, hiking, swimming...I'm a happy kid. Running in heat is something I love, I will wait for the hottest possible moment of the day and go out for my long run. Just to sweat as much as I can.
What's your favorite season to be a runner?

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.
