Happy Father’s Day to all the Bowerman Dad’s, especially the newest one, Josh Thompson! . . . #BowermanTC #BowerDads #PowerDads #FathersDay #DadsWhoRun #RunnersWhoDad
What a wonderful evening, with a wonderful community, to celebrate a wonderful person! Yesterday was a powerful demonstration of how one person’s life can positively affect so many other lives, even those she never met. ⠀ Thank you to everyone in Portland who came out. Thank you, Gabe. #BraveLikeGabe ⠀ 📸: @jordan.beckett
We lost one of the best people in our, or any, sport last night, with the passing of Gabe Grunewald. Throughout her 10 year battle with cancer, Gabe was a fountain of joy, friendship, hope, laughter, and inspiration. The harsh reality she faced did not dim her spirit, but seemed to ignite her love of life. All of us here at BTC were inspired by Gabe and those who met her feel privileged to have done so. On Friday, Portland’s many running clubs will be gathering at 6:30pm at Duniway Track. We’ll run 5k in memorial of Gabe and do our best to honor the values she exemplified: the community and joy of running. If you’re in the area, come out and celebrate a true hero. We encourage all those who might be able to donate to the #BraveLikeGabe Foundation to support rare cancer research.
Another great weekend at the Portland Track Festival is in the books! We came away with a few wins, a few PRs, and a few people hungry for more. All as it should be. ⠀ Thanks to @pdxtrack for all their hard work and for all the fans who came out to support! ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #BowermanBabes #Track #TrackAndField @portlandtrack #TheYouth @btc_elite #NotProfessional #NotUnprofessional #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running
Josh is opening his season tonight with a defense of his Portland Track Festival steeple title. He’s our lone pro but we have a veritable #SQUAD of Elite, Masters, and Youth members racing. We love having this meet in our backyard and are looking forward to adding more Ws and PRs with this year’s addition! ⠀ Races start at 1:30pm PT. The Elite sections start at 5:50pm and Josh’s race is at 6:15pm. If you’re in the area come out to Lewis & Clark College and watch some world class track! If that’s too long of a trek, @flotrack has the action. ⠀ 📸: @jordan.beckett . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #SteeplePeople #Track #TrackAndField @pdxtrack #TheYouth @btc_elite #NotProfessional #NotUnprofessional #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running

12:58!!!! ⠀ HE DID IT! Moh breaks his own 🇨🇦 Record AND the 13 minute barrier in Rome. The pace was 🔥 early, but Moh stuck his nose in it with no fear. He came through 3k in 7:45 👀, just 5 seconds off his PR. An awesome result and so well deserved. Congrats Scoop! ⠀ 📸: @ryan_sterner . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #GoldenGala #BreakingBarriers #trackandfield #running #runningmotivation #NikeRunning #TeamNike @nikerunning
It’s #globalrunningday! If you haven’t figured it out by now, we thinking running is really rad. Hope you got some miles in today and got to enjoy them with friends! ⠀ 📸: @ufnoof | @premvida . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #trackandfield #running #runningmotivation #TeamNike @nikerunning #milesofsmiles
Tune-ups are over, time to get after a real distance. ⠀ Moh takes on the 5,000 at the Rome Diamond League tomorrow at 2:45pm ET. In the US, you can watch on the Olympic Channel or NBC Sports Gold. ⠀ 📸: @ufnoof | @premvida . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #GoldenGala #DiamondLeague #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #TrackAndField #trackSZN
Fitness, it’s better with friends ⠀ To all the high schoolers plotting out summer training, or fall marathoners drawing up some mileage charts: don’t forget the simple keys to fitness. More than any type of workout or complicated system of training, having great training partners who push you, support your goals, and make you laugh along the way will help you reach your potential. ⠀ And if you’re in the market for some, might we recommend the BTC Summer Camp or our BTC 5k training group? ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros @btc_elite #MotivationMonday #ShamelessPlug #Training #NotProfessional #NotUnprofessional #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #TrackAndField
For most of the year, Sunday is long run day for the Pro crew. That means that Saturday night is, “wait for the text from Jerry to find out if we have structure” night. What can we say? We know how to party. ⠀ The “structured” long run is just a term we use for long runs that have specific paces or pace ranges assigned. These can be extended periods of steady running, progressions, or fartlek elements. And they are not just for marathoners! Our Pro and Elite groups use these regularly in the base phase of training to build in added aerobic capacity. Many other high level training groups do the same in their own specific style. Far be it from us to tell you what to do, but we would recommend younger athletes slowly build up their volume over a number of years before adding this sort of intensity. They don’t call it “Old Man Strength” for nothing! ⠀ This pic from April shows the men’s crew rolling along at ~5:30 pace. ⠀ 📸: @ufnoof | @premvida . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBros #LongRun #Training #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #TrackAndField
If you want a little insight into what makes this beast tick, head over to @tempojournal. @ryansterner did a great job capturing what it’s like to train with Shelby with both his camera and his pen (well, keyboard). ⠀ 📸: @ryan_sterner . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #Training #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #TrackAndField
We are thrilled to announce that Carrie has been selected to represent the US in the Marathon at the IAAF World Championships in Doha!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥 ⠀ It's not exactly common to make your first World Championships appearance at 36, with two kids, and a full time job, but Carrie is a rare breed! Carrie stands out for her diligence and talent, of course. More than that, though, we love her humble demeanor, laid back approach, and supportive leadership. It has been wonderful to see her rise over the past few years to heights we and she never expected, and to see her handle it with such self-effacing aplomb. Her career is a wonderful reminder that the best results happen when you love what you do and the people you do it with! ⠀ Oh and it's her birthday so wish her a happy one! ⠀ 📸: @cortneywhite_ . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #Bowermoms #NotProfessional #NotUnprofessional #Marathon #MarathonTraining #MomsWhoRun #RunnersWhoMom #Doha #TeamUSA #NikeRunning #Running #TeamNike #JustDoIt
Our 10th annual BTC 5K has a lot of new additions and one of the ones we are most excited for is a group training plan led by @btccoachsteve! One of our primary goals as a club is to use group training to help push athletes farther than they thought possible and to establish a sense of community around that mission. It’s what’s made our Youth, Elite, Pro, and Masters groups so successful and we are stoked to expand that an even wider group! We can’t think of a better person to lead that endeavor than Steve Edwards. You may know Steve best as Mr. Shalane Flanagan, but he’s long been a coach in the area, helping people get inspired and reach their goals. And as an added bonus, he can always carry you through a workout if you bonk 😉. He will be conducting training sessions twice weekly starting next Saturday, June 1st. Saturday sessions will meet at the Thurman trailhead for Leif Erickson Trail at 9am. Wednesday sessions will be at 6:15pm at Duniway Track. 8 weeks of training sessions are just 10 dollars! Sign up when you register for the race at bowermantc.com/5k and add the training plan at the “Add Details” tab. ⠀ We look forward to seeing you out there! . . . #BowermanTC #Bowerman5K #GroupTraining #5Ktraining #Training #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning #Running #RoadRacing #RoadWarriors

Lots of fun, competitive races at Oxy on Thursday night! Kate and Courtney won their heats of the 800 and 1500 respectively. Woody and Karissa added a pair of 2nds with strong finishes. It’s going to be an especially long season this year and we are slowly laying the groundwork for success in October! ⠀ To follow up on our Wednesday post, Moh ran a solid 3:41 but the curse of the 1500m continues. Could be he’s just waiting to drop a sub-3:40 at the end of a 5k... ⠀ 📸: @ryan_sterner . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #BowermanBros #USATF #Track #trackSZN #1500m #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning @USATF
Time to get the game faces ready, it’s Race Day. ⠀ You can watch the USATF Distance Classic on NBC Sports Gold starting at 7pm PT. ⠀ 📸: @rjmcnichols4 . . . #WhatIsWoodyDoing #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #BowermanBros #USATF #Track #trackSZN #1500m #BurritoBets #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning @USATF
The Pro squad is back in action tomorrow night! We have 11 athletes racing at the USATF Distance Classic at Occidental College in LA. All our athletes will be racing distances under their primary events, for most this means the 1500. The purpose of these “tune up” races at the beginning of the year is to sharpen tactical racing abilities and finishing kicks, while avoiding the wear and tear of longer races. ⠀ That doesn’t mean that there’s nothing on the line though! For instance, it’s a long running bit on the team that Moh, who has the fastest 5k PR at 13:01, has yet to break 3:40 in the 1500m. Even CD has done it and he gets dusted by the women in speed workouts. At Stanford 2 weeks ago the 1500 Curse continued and Moh lost a burrito bet to Dan in the process. Can he shake off his demons, make Dan pay for his ridicule, and collect a delicious, tortilla wrapped reward? 🌯 ⠀ Tune in to NBC Sports Gold at 8:30pm PDT to find out! And be sure to keep your 👀 out for our new kits! ⠀ Women’s 800m (7:00pm PT): Kate ⠀ Women’s 1500m (8:05pm PT): Courtney, Karissa, Marielle, Elise ⠀ Men’s 1500m (8:20pm PT): Moh, Hughes, Sean, Woody, Josh, Lopez ⠀ 📸: @rjmcnichols4 . . . #BowermanTC #BowermanBabes #BowermanBros #USATF #Track #trackSZN #1500m #BurritoBets #TeamNike #NikeRunning #JustDoIt @NikeRunning @USATF
