Weekly Update 11/20 - 8000 Members + Philly Marathon VIBES + Drop 003 (Vote Tomorrow) + Training Group Update!!! + Giveaway TIMEEE!!!
Hey everyone!! HAPPY ENDORPHINS MONDAY!
Congrats to everyone in the global endorphins community for reaching 8000 collective members across our 9 Endorphins cities + our virtual runners who reside in cities that don’t have a local presence!! It is so cool knowing we have such a strong community of people all across the world who are united by our mission of spreading positivity and happiness through movement exercise. Constantly, we are inspired by you all!
Philly Marathon…. literally unfreakinggg real vibesss
WAS SO ELECTRIC. CONGRATS to all 150+ Endorphins members who raced in the Philly Half + the Philly Marathon over the weekend. 5 events, 48 hours… 1 unreal race weekendddd! The vibes were unmatched and the confetti is probably still flying in the Manayunk air around Mile 20!
And if you want to see what I mean by the confetti…. here is the video recap from the race ⚡💙🎊
DROP 003 - Drop Vote Tomorrow!
We are locked and loaded for drop 3! In our last drop vote we asked… what should the next drop be!?!? and over 50% of you asked for sweatshirts… so we went to work and dialed in the highest quality / premium hoodies we could source with our manufacturer!! LETS FREAKING RIDEEE! The idea will be to have this drop delivered in time for Christmas / holiday season ⚡💙🎄
Tomorrow we will be conducting our 3rd drop vote!! For context - we send out votes before we release any drops. In these votes, we ask for community input on style, designs, and products… we then go out and source the highest quality premium products and drop them to the community!!! Everything Endorphins does is community led and this is a great example of how we listen to the group before we make any decisions!
Transparently - we have had trouble with understanding how many units we should purchase for each drop. Candidly - it is expensive to purchase hundreds of premium hoodies / products upfront lol. Due to this, we will have 100 sweatshirts for drop 003. Anyone who votes in the drop vote tomorrow will receive a priority access link to the drop to ensure our most engaged members have a chance to purchase hoodies before we run out.
I will be posting the drop vote tomorrow morning so stay on the lookout for it!
Training Group Update - +1 to the Endorphins Coaching Staff!
IT IS OFFICIAL… Endorphins has our first dietitian on staff. AYYYYY! I had mentioned in the Training Group thread that we were working to bring on an elite dietitian to support our annual training program that coach @Rebeka Stowe and I have been working on… and I am so excited to let you all know that Emily Kaley has signed on to be the exclusive sports dietitian of Endorphins!!!
Emily’s resume speaks for itself. She has trained many professional athletes you likely know in the MLB, NBA, NHL, and members of the USA Track and Field team. SHE IS EPIC!! and will be part of the Endorphins 365 coaching staff! So insane lol. Like whatttt hahah!
What does this mean for everyone in Endorphins?
We will be opening up an Ask a Dietitian space here in the community (similar to the Ask A PT space) where you can ask any sports nutrition related questions. Emily will be answering you all several times a week. Like always, this will be a community led space and anyone is welcome to chime in!
Emily will be conducting monthly virtual sessions with members of the Endorphins 365 training group that will be going live in January 2024. These sessions will help educate our paid training group on how to use nutrition best practices to inform training decisions / racing!
EVERYONE in Endorphins will be given access to an Endorphins specific discounted package for anyone that would like to work with Emily on a more personal 1:1 basis. This package will consist of several private consultations and follow ups to ensure your nutrition plan is dialed in!
So beyond stoked about this update and can’t wait to get the Ask A Dietitian space within the community live in the coming weeks!
Ultimately - we are a social first club… but I believe supporting Endorphins on the performance side is critically important and this is a step in the right direction to ensuring we can support all of our global members and your ambitious goals in 2024!!
LFG!!
Giveaway Timeeee!!
We took a week off from giveaways…. this week we are running it back! Anyone that throws the endorphins ⚡💙 emojis on this post will be entered to win a hoodie from drop 003!
LETS HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK! Plz everyone eat / throw some extra gravy on your turkeyyyy!
Only the best,
Tyler ⚡💙
