Endorphins 365 - Pre Launch May 8th!
A lot of race talk this week. And as we enter summer, we know thousands of Endorphins members will begin training for falls races including the NYC, Chicago, Philly, Marine Corps, Berlin, Dallas Marathons…. and soooo many more races in between. With this in mind, we are really stoked to be able to support our members via our year long training program.
For context, Endorphins has been working with ~200 community members over the past 4 months to develop a 365 degree holistic training program that includes support from elite running coaches, strength coaches, and dietitians.
In addition, the curriculum for the marathon and half marathon is video first! Meaning you will get video instruction on how to address each week of training! Even if your are not training or are between races Coach Stowe sends out weekly workouts to all members of Endorphins 365.
We are currently in a private beta period and yesterday we announced that the program will be pre launching to anyone on the waitlist on May 8th!! This is super exciting and am beyond proud of the collective and collaborative effort of so many community members on this program!
The most amazing part of this program is that you can train with other people following the same plan as you! Whether you are able to connect with others in your city or connect with other members virtually, Endorphins 365 is a community oriented program that is hard to find via hiring a coach or following a plan from online!
If you’d like to join the waitlist so you are notified about the pre launch, you can fill out the waitlist form here!
