February | Heart + Sole: A Love Letter to Running

Celebrate the love affair with running as we explore the deep connection between our hearts and the pavement, making every step a declaration of self-love.

Love is in the air, RUNGRLs, and our hearts are pounding with passion – not just for a special someone, but for the pavement beneath our feet. February is all about celebrating the love affair we have with movement. It's a connection that goes beyond the miles; it’s a romance that fuels our spirits. 

This month, we’re pouring out our hearts into every stride. We’ll discuss how to emotionally connect with running, making it more than just exercise, how to learn to love your current running pace, even if it’s not as fast as you’d like, and tips on how to share the road with a partner or spouse.

On social, we’re excited about a video series we’re calling “Heart + Sole,” that highlights the stories of amazing Black women runners from the RUNGRL community. From seasoned marathoners to everyday runners, these ladies are sharing how they fell in love with “the streets”. 

Running is a love language all its own, and part of mastering that language is making sure every step is first and foremost a declaration of self-love. 

Lace up, Loves!
