Weekly Update 2/20/24!!! - ATX Marathon!! + Upcoming Race Weekends + Drop 004 Shipped + Next Drop? + Endorphins 365 Beta + Giveaway!!!
Hello, good morning, anddd Happy Endorphins… tuesday?
Welcome to the 372 people from across the world that joined the Endorphins community in the past week. For those we are just joining us, the mission of Endorphins is to spread positivity and happiness through movement and exercise. We do this in several ways, mainly by bringing people together in person at our group runs, and virtually through our online community to connect around our shared love for running and overall wellbeing. We know that when we connect with others that love the same things as ourselves, we live a happier life!
Normally Endorphins meets on Monday mornings in 9 cities each week. Despite not all being physically together in person, we are united by our mission! Additionally, each Monday we send out a global announcement to keep everyone on the same page! This week the note is being sent out on a Tuesday because of the holiday!
Ok lets get into it!!
ATX Marathon Congrats!!!
Woahhhh! Austin Endorphins is pretty electric. The ATX group had 30+ members run in either the Austin Half or Full Marathon this weekend. Additionally, the Austin Endorphins group hosted 5 events throughout race week. A Monday morning kick off run with Fleet Feet and Asics, a Wednesday evening run with the Kollective, a Saturday morning mega shakeout run with a handful of brands and community partners, a race day cheer zone, and a post race party.
The vibes were off the charts and these pictures are incredible and hardly do the electric energy from the week justice!
Upcoming Race Weekends / Shakeout Runs!!
On this note, Endorphins is kinda becoming known for our race weekend festivities and events. LFG!! They are honestly just such great vibes and are an amazing way to celebrate your long training blocks ahead of race day.
Similar to the Austin marathon weekend events, Endorphins will be supporting a handful of races in the first half of the year. You can take a look at our Global Events space here to see a list of upcoming race weekend events!
Additionally, we are posting these events in our Strava club. If you opt into the Strava club you will get notified of when these events are posted!
We will be adding a bunch more race weekend events in the coming weeks so stay tuned for more details!
Drop 004 - Beanies Shipped + Next Drop!?
Drop 004 last week was a success and we sold out of beanies in under 30 minutes! If you were able to get your hands on a beanie before we ran out congrats! You should be receiving your beanie in the next few days!
In the Drop 004 vote, we asked members what we should make next and it seems like the community wants more hoodies! Maybe we will also bring the running hats back? As always we always do our best to listen to the community and implement feedback. We will get to work on another run of hoodies with the goal of hopefully having them ready before Spring weather sets in!
Endorphins 365 Beta - Week 8
We are in week 8 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!
