2 WHEN WE RUN,

3 Freedom is our natural state. Our default. It s who we are. We move freely through the world. We run whenever the urge calls. Early mornings, late nights, anytime, all the time. Running extends our world, makes it richer. We run smoother. Get healthier. When we run, we feel free. But somewhere along the line our freedom gets limited. Life outruns us and things quickly change. But it doesn t mean you have to change. Once a runner, always a runner. Go ahead, run free. bugaboo runner introduction 3

6 When a lifelong runner and a football player met at college, their relationship was bound to be based on the active, outdoor lifestyle. Now located in LA, Kevin and Jessica Dorsey (with daughter Lily), talk about their default setting as runners.

7 When did you start running and why? Jessica: We both started running really young, in grad school. I had no hand-eye coordination so, instead of ball sports, I started running and was good at it, so it stuck. What type of runner are you? Jessica: Definitely a hardcore running nerd. Kevin: I run to exercise, to feel good and to feel fast. How has having a child affected your running? Kevin: There s a little more prep but it s fun. Having Lily hasn t slowed us down at all: in fact it s made us more creative. What does running mean to you? Jessica: Running means everything to me, because it plays such a big part in my life (and my family s life). It s also a great time for reflection. Does your child like to come running? Kevin (his face lighting up): Lily loves to come running. She is often the first one to ask whether we can go running or hiking. We play games all the way, she has a great imagination. How do you prepare your run? Jessica: If I m going for a run with Lily and the jogging pushchair, I grab a few snacks, water and a blanket for her and just go! What does it mean to you that you can go out running with your daughter? Jessica: It s really special that Lily and I can go running together, and so is the fact that she s been along for the ride since she was small. Best time of day to go running? Both: Morning! What is the best thing about running? Kevin: Running makes me feel free, it makes me feel alive, but more than anything just free. It s something you can do by yourself with no one around. Jessica: Running makes me feel strong. I love the fact that it s so flexible, you can do it anywhere, anytime and it s free. I love exploring new places and isn t it better when you can say that your feet took you there? What was your first impression of the Bugaboo Runner? Jessica: It s so stylish. I ve never seen a jogging pushchair that is so functional and easy to run with and also looks great. Kevin: It s so smooth! Best song to run to? Jessica: I love Latin workout music, but if I had to pick one it would be Eye of the Tiger as cheesy as that sounds. bugaboo runner interview 7

12 Between organizing the Colour Me Rad charity runs all over the United States and being busy parents, Wyatt and Courtney Grow use running as a means to connect with each other and the world around them. Both run as a means to stay fit and healthy, as most runners will, but for this couple running is also what gives them confidence and a feeling of independence.

13 When did you start running? Wyatt: We have both been running for almost our entire lives. What type of runner are you? Wyatt: We both train to stay fit but recently, as running events have become part of my job, I feel like it gives me the insight to understand runners from across the globe. I like to think we feel similarly about running and that connects us. Courtney: For me running is also therapeutic. How often do you run and what time of day? How does running make you feel? Wyatt: Running actually makes me feel more confident and independent. Courtney: Running makes me feel alive, running makes me feel connected, it makes me feel vibrant and powerful. I see myself running forever. What was your first impression of the Bugaboo Runner? Courtney: It looks amazing. The slender lines make it incredibly fast and light, it s the perfect combination of form and function. Oh, and you can tell it was designed for the needs of parents. Wyatt: About 3 times a week. Our favorite time of day to run is in the morning. My days that start with a run are marked by feeling more sharp, alert, and present in my life. What does running mean to you? Courtney: Running means freedom and adventure a modern exploration on foot and at the same time we feel connected to the places we run, the world around us and to each other. How do you prepare your run? Wyatt: Being new parents, we don t always have a lot of time to prepare, but a great playlist and some stretching will get us revved up. In what sense does the Bugaboo Runner help you to escape? Courtney: The real feeling of escape is just the freedom to go anywhere: you can literally walk outside and be three miles away in a matter of minutes, exploring a different part of your city. What is the best thing about running? Wyatt: Definitely the high that carries me through the rest of the day when I get a good run in. You can experience the benefits anywhere you go, it s a universal thing. bugaboo runner interview 13

14 Tips for the Bugaboo Runner Without stating the obvious (properly secure the harness and never let go) we love sharing our top tips to help you get the best out of your run! Back to nature! Your Bugaboo pushchair has air-filled tyres to ensure the smoothest ride possible. That also means you can go explore your local park, woods or even go for a run along the shore. Just breathe in that fresh air and go! Anytime! Some parents prefer running before their children s naptime, others after snack time. The only way to find out is by just going for it! You could even attach some reflectors or lights to your stroller when running in the dark, and a footmuff will keep your child warm and cosy during the run. Have fun! You love running because it makes you feel free. Children love seeing new sights and exploring new places and the jog can be a great opportunity to play games. I spy, singing songs and counting games that involve spotting things on the way are ideal!

15 Run together! When your child is old enough, and you re in need of a short break, why not have little competitions? You could even race each other home the last 100 metres, winner takes all! Go digital! There are some great running apps that will help you set goals, plan fun routes and share your progress with your friends, so get downloading! MAP MY RUN (Android, ios, Free): NIKE + RUNNING (Android, ios, Free): CRUISE CONTROL RUN (ios, $4.99): A great tool to map out your runs with built-in routes for most big cities, so great for finding quick routes during a vacation. In addition to challenging your creative mapping skills, this app will track your activity, log your food and help you get social. Even if you don t own a single piece of Nike gear, the Nike + Running app is a great tool to record your progress and lets you challenge your friends! If you love running to music but don t want to keep adjusting your playlists to fit your pace, then Cruise Control Run is the app for you. It slows down, or quickens the pace matching your music to your pace. Never be caught with a slow song during sprinting again. bugaboo runner running tips 15
