Drop 003 Update - Pre Access This Week!
BIGGG WEEK! For anyone who is not familiar with how we do our clothing drops… we do community votes on designs, styles, and products to determine what is everyone’s favorite. We then take this input and go out and try to produce the item! We conducted a vote for our 3rd drop last week and have closed off voting so we can begin producing hoodies! LFGG!!
For transparency and visibility into the process - here is the timeline of what to expect:
Tuesday, Nov 28th - Winning Options are announced + production starts - ayyyy!
Friday, Dec 1st - pre access for anyone who voted on drop 003 designs goes live.
For context - we send out a pre access link for each drop to anyone who has voted to ensure our most engaged community members have a chance to get a hoodie before we potentially run out!Tuesday, Dec 5th - drop 003 goes live! with the intention of shipping all hoodies out before Christmas time!!!
SOOO exciting (can’t believe we are almost in December)^^. I am so proud of these hoodies. They are super amazing quality and I know when you put it on, it will match the amazing vibes we all know and love. So special and cool!
Training Group Update - Endorphins 365!
Huge update - Coach @Rebeka Stowe has completed the programming for Endorphins 365! This is insane lol. She took everyone’s input and built out training plans for the following distances: 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon….. for beginner and advanced runners. That is 10 plans in total lol. When everyone was eating turkey… @Rebeka Stowe was cooookinggg lmfao.
One of the other big pieces of feedback around our Marathon program that just wrapped was that people wanted more concise weekly volume charts… lol Stowe took that feedback built out 6 different volume charts… for each race distance… ranging from someone who wants to max out at 30 miles a week up to someone who wants to run 75+ miles a week! It is pretty next level.
For next steps now that the running workouts are written. I am working with @Jerry Wang - community member and lead designer of Endorphins Lol (sounds so official) to figure out how we can take all this info and put it into a format that is easy for everyone to understand! No small task, but honestly has been a super fun long tail project we have been working on. We may need some people to offer initial feedback on the programming once it is finalized. If we do, I’ll send out a form to get some beta testers!
Also - on the training front - we are working on strength programming to be paired with the running programming. Nothing too concrete here yet… but we are cooking something up :)
More details to be shared in the Training Group thread!
