WE'RE IN! Melb Mara 🔒
This time last week I wrote about how for the first time in a while we had a bit of momentum and consistency. Fast forward 7 days and in some ways it feels the opposite!
Runly Updates #71
Last week we sent out a customer survey to get some feedback and learn more from our customers about who they are and why they run. It can be quite daunting to receive feedback en masse. Your heart sinks a little bit while it builds up the courage to read through each piece of feedback. In fact, I haven't even gotten through every response yet!

Trail Mara, Mid-Year Sale & Amazing Responses!
It's been a busy week at HQ! Let me break it down for you.
Seasonality, Conversations & New Events
I've got a question for you. Do you think running is seasonal? I've been told this a number of times heading into the Australian winter. But I'm undecided on whether it's true or not.
We've Run Out Of Cash
Okay, sorry about the dramatic subject line 😅 I promise you we're good. Let me explain. I've always said this newsletter is about giving you a real behind the scenes of the brand. Not just the fun stuff. Or the new stuff. Or the shiny stuff. Everything. Well, we've run out of cash.
