Sold Out Drop, Big-Send & Frantic Planning.
In case you missed all the commotion, last night we dropped our brand new running vest - The Hybrid Pro. It feels really good to finally get this campaign out there. It's been in the works for about a year. The product development has been long and I never gave the final tick of approval until I was absolutely happy with it.
It's All Over
If you read this weekly founder newsletter on the regular, there's a good chance you know I've battled with a knee injury in recent times that's brought my running to a complete hault. 9 scans. 4 physios. 1 sports doc. 1 surgeon. 1 surgery. I had surgery around 4 weeks ago to finally get to the source of the problem.
Founder Update #81
You only have to attend one single event, Parkrun or run club to make a new friend, and to understand how powerful it is for runners (or just humans in general) to come together to form micro-communities. It's something I love, and always have admired about the running community.
Lots of Runly's + ups & downs.
Wow, it's the 80th weekly founder update. That's wild!Like, I've sat down for an hour every week for 80 weeks in a row to write this weekly founder update. That's pretty cool. Let's hope it continues for another 1000 weeks. Surely we need to do something fun for the 100th edition, right? I don't know, maybe a founder's run in Melbourne. Who's keen?
Let's talk about momentum.
You know, one thing I really value is momentum. It's extremely hard to get, and easy to lose. If you've got momentum, it makes things a lot easier. It's like running with the wind behind you in a race.
Knee surgery update, pink vests, final stock + hoodies
I always wonder whether I should start these founder updates by introducing who I am - because our community is growing quickly. If you're new here, my name is Robbie. I'm the founder of Runly.
Knee surgery, pre-orders out & new stock in 💛
Can you feel that? The air is warmer, the plants and flowers are waking up & the vibes are starting to turn up. Spring is almost here. The best season (in my humble opinion) for running. I love this time of year. It's starting to get warmer, people come out of the winter slump and the vibes start picking up.
Event Recap, Special Mornings & Community
Things have been going a million miles an hour lately! My to-do list is definitely getting longer, that's for sure. We're in a really busy period behind the scenes. Managing pre-orders, incoming stock, events and planning for the busy backend of the year.
