Weekly Announcement 4/29 - the races keep rolling (free race shirts!!), Endorphins Premium Pre Launch (50% Discount), & April / May Challenges!!

Hello and good morning!

Welcome to the 200+ Endorphins members who have joined us from across the US this past week. We are a global running community with a shared mission of spreading positivity and happiness! We host 1500+ free group runs a year across 12 cities, offer personalized training plans that connect to wearable devices and adapt based on your activity data, have amazing partners like New Balance, Shokz, Abbott, etc..., and host awesome race weekends for our members in all of our cities.

Whether you are able to join us in person at our events or train with us virtually. We are all united by our mission and the joy running brings us each and every day!

We send out a weekly announcement on all major things happening in our community. So lets get into it!

Training is leaving beta!! - Endorphins Premium Pre Launch May 15th - lfggg

Over the past 3 years, we have coached thousands of athletes and the biggest feedback to date has been our coaching is awesome but can be more personalized. Soooo... we listened to your ideas and set out to build the most advanced training technology in the world! (It is very cool to think about the evolution of our training over the years. From group calls, to videos, to best in class adaptive training tech.... insane!!)

Our coaches, our community engineers, our city leads, and hundreds of members of the community have been working together on our training tech that builds hyper personalized plans for you. We take in race times, goals, and preferences like weekly mileage, runs per week, and experience level to build tailored plans to meet you where you are and help you crush it on race day. Once you start your plan, you can link wearable devices like Garmin or Coros, and as you complete your workouts your plan adjusts to help you optimize your training in real time!

We released the beta version of our coaching tech in January and have been testing it quite heavily! We have conducted live interviews, focus groups, pace study case studies, and analyzed hundreds of thousands of workouts to fine tune our algorithms to make sure everything is DIALED IN to be ready for summer training and fall race season... and we can confidently say it is!

Here is what you can expect:

Endorphins Premium Pre Launch:

From May 15th - June 1st we will begin pulling people off the waitlist and offering a lifetime 50% discount.

In years past, we have charged $365 / year or $30 per month for our coaching.

Moving forward Endorphins Premium will cost $120 / year or $20 / month.

With the Pre Launch discount you will be able to access our personalized training tech for $60 / year which equates to $5/ month! In order to be eligible for this discount, you must be on the training waitlist!

Portions of the proceeds from Endorphins Premium are used to help support our local cities by way of quarterly budget. These budgets are discretionary budgets that local city leads can use to help foster community for our members!

It is also important to reiterate, our community, the events, the shakeouts, and group runs will remain free!
