Why we made this

The one thing that we’ve learned over the years is that running has a code of simplicity. The only barriers to entry are shorts, a t-shirt/sports bra, and a pair of shoes, which some even deem optional. Furthermore, most runners are unlikely to go to the gym so if you want to get them engaging in some form of resistance training, you are going to have to bring any props or equipment to their home or to the track.
