Helllo and Happy Endorphins Monday!!!

Welcome to the 330 people who joined Endorphins in the past week. If you are new to the group, the mission of Endorphins is to spread positivity and happiness through movement and exercise!! We do this by bringing people together at group runs in 9 cities across the US, offering virtual running resources, and offering world class coaching options. We believe that when you can get healthier with friends, you live a happier life!

Each week our groups meet on Monday mornings. Additionally, we send out a weekly announcement post like this on Mondays. We know that when you start your week off with some Endorphins, the rest of the week falls into place :)

Let’s get into it!!!

Race Week in Japan!!!

GOOD LUCK to the 40+ Endorphins members racing in the Tokyo Marathon this Sunday. The international world majors are so special as we have so many Endorphins members from across the world coming together in a neutral city. It is really special being able to meet other members from different Endorphins cities at these race weekends. Despite not living in the same place, we all are united by our mission of spreading positivity and happiness through movement and exercise. If you see someone wearing Endorphins gear at the Expo or out and about at events, you know what to do. Introduce yourself and say hello!

If you will be out in Tokyo either running or spectating, be sure to join the race chat so you can stay connected with other Endorphins members.

Lastly - we will be hosting a shakeout run on Saturday morning by the Imperial Palace. For all the details you can checkout the Global Events post, or the Strava Club post.

NYCM Lottery - Feb 28th

This is a big one. Mark your calendars. For anyone interested in applying for NYC Marathon lottery, the lottery application window opens on Weds Feb 28th. Here is a link for more details.

Drop 005 Hoodies

Last week we discussed options for our next gear drop. We are working with our manufacturer to hopefully have another design for hoodies ready for a vote at some point in March. The idea here is to get something ready for people to wear before the Boston and London marathon in mid to late April.

Also - for those who are new to Endorphins. Everything we do is community lead. Before making changes to runs, or launching apparel, we collect feedback on different options and then do our best to bring everyones ideas to life. With gear drops specifically, we host votes where members can vote on styles and designs. We then take the community favorite option and make it!

Stay tuned for the Drop 005 vote in the coming weeks!

Endorphins 365 Beta - Week 9

We are in week 9 of the Endorphins 365 beta. For context, our community asked for a year long training program so we asked the community what would make the best all encompassing training program and then went out and made it come to life! You can see the whole progression in our training group thread here. We are in a beta period to ensure we gather enough feedback to make the program amazing before opening it up for anyone to join. There is no timeline on when it will open up, however if you would like to be notified when it is open to anyone to join, you can fill out the waitlist form here!
