We spend a lot of time researching the best recovery tools and throw all our money at them in hopes they’ve save our body from the workouts we keep putting it through. But what if the most important and well-researched tool is free and something you already do regularly (but maybe not enough)!

Recent research suggests that recreational runners could be putting themselves at a higher risk of injury if they aren’t getting enough sleep. Check out the blog to learn why! Link in bio 🏃

IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!
*
Today we’re celebrating our 6th(and a half?) year as a business and we want everyone in this amazing community to celebrate with us!
*
TBH Starting Line first started in the later half of 2018 but it was more of a “soft launch”. As a new Mainer in 2018, it took me some time to lay down roots and network to get my name out there as the new Physical Therapist in town. That first year was filled with networking, community workshops, learning how to run a business(pssst I had no idea what I was doing), and immersing myself into the Portland running and triathlon community.
*
It didn’t start to truly feel like my vision for Starting Line had come to life until we decided to branch out to add the run studio side of the business in November of 2019 which is where our 11/11 anniversary originated.
*
So much has transformed since the very beginning but I can truly say, I am so proud of the community we’ve created and all of the shapes this business has taken over the years which wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my incredible husband & business partner and the team of coaches, physical therapists, and massage therapists we’ve had over the years.
*
We may not offer treadmill classes anymore and have shifted our services but we have come back to the core of what we do, which is helping YOU get back on the road(or trails!) and doing what we can to give back to the community!
*
So this year to celebrate, we are doing a BIG giveaway to say thank you!

20 DAYS UNTIL THE TURKEY TROT TUNE UP!

On Sunday, November 16th, join us as we race around the back cove and shake off those cob webs before your Thanksgiving Turkey Trot races later this month!

We also have a very fun and very cute Turkey 100M Dash for kids age 2-9 right before the 3.5 mile race kicks off at 9am!

We’re donating 50% of proceeds to WinterKids to celebrate our anniversary month and we’ll be serving up post-race pancakes in our space on Forest Ave.

We hope to see you there!
