Five Reasons to Join the Share the Run Challenge
We’ve teamed up with Saucony and Black Girls RUN! to bring you the Share the Run Challenge, a four-week mileage challenge during February to help you set and reach your goals.
Culture
With the holidays long gone but the cold still lingering, the dreary days of winter are upon us. In most parts of the country, it can be harder than ever to find the motivation to run when the roads are slick, the sky is gray and the trees are brown and barren.
Whether you’re an experienced runner aiming to increase your fitness or a newbie trying to build a running habit that sticks, we’ve got the perfect challenge for you. We’ve teamed up with Saucony and Black Girls RUN! to bring you the Share the Run Challenge.
In case you’re not sold yet, here are five reasons to Share the Run with us this winter.
1. Build healthy habits
It’s no secret that building a regular walking or running habit has numerous health benefits. Walking and running regularly has been proven to improve cardiovascular fitness, boost your immune system, and can even reduce stress, among other things.
2. Share encouragement and accountability
In order to build healthy habits, a little bit of accountability goes a long way. Sure, we can hold ourselves accountable when setting and chasing down our goals, but extrinsic motivation will give you that extra boost you need when it’s cold and dark out and you simply don’t feel like getting out the door.
3. Support a good cause
Registration for Share the Run is free, but every participant has the option to donate to Black Girls RUN! when signing up. Black Girls RUN! provides resources and community for Black Women to get more active together. They offer 5K training programs and group runs, as well as motivation and support, and they have chapters across the country.
4. Teamwork makes the dreamwork
Research shows that running with a group can make you happier. All the more reason to join your local Fleet Feet for a run! In-store events will vary, so be sure to check with your local Fleet Feet.
5. Enter to win giveaways
Who doesn’t love a giveaway? By logging your miles on the Strava you’ll automatically be entered to win giveaways from Saucony! Be sure to keep an eye on your email, where you’ll be notified if you win.
Keep your eye on our official Fleet Feet instagram page, too, for a chance to win prizes from Saucony.
