What is your background in running (Events, Races, Etc)?
I've run about 20 races in the past year ranging from 5K's to full marathons. During the past couple years, I lived in Phuket, Thailand. Surrounded by active and adventurous friends, I followed them to running clubs and races. I completed my first race in September 2015 but quickly became absorbed in the sport and ended up training for my first triathlon in just three weeks! Races became a fun way to create goals and push myself to improve. I finished my first marathon in June 2016 at the Laguna Phuket International Marathon and my second one in October 2016 at the Khao Yai Trail Marathon. With my newfound passion for running, I plan to continue to race after my recent move to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love trying out new running gear and often read online reviews to make my decisions on which products to buy. I know I would enjoy contributing to this wealth of online knowledge by writing about and sharing my own experiences.
Proposal:
I plan to make my content unique in that it will be from a female perspective. There are many runner-reviews and blogs out there, but not many focus on gear specifically for women. I'd like to try out female running gear and see if they're not only cute and Instagram-able but also functional. I love the look of all the cute sports bras with the cross-back straps, but do they really have enough support for my next half marathon? And which of those running shorts won't ride up too much and minimize chafing on my inner thighs? What's the best way to tape down my toenails so my nail technician won't be disgusted by my lack of nails at my next pedicure?
Feel free to contact me with any input or other ideas!
