okokok i’m not that big fan of huge conglomerates like nike. but bc i’m getting into running again, i’m getting all types of recommendations and this is a fUcking good one! They have guided runs where coaches come in, talk to you, tell you what they want you to focus on, when to push harder, and celebrate and different points during the runs. As someone who’s mental state goes from “wow it feels so nice outside!” to “i hate this i hate this i hate this” to “i’m so slow, fUck this is embarrassing” to “oh my god i’m so happy i did this i feel so good!” It does WONDERS to have someone checking me on my mental state. Like truly it’s the thing that keeps me going. Anyway, they have training guides for races, but they also have beginner intros and those are amazing ( including slow 5 minute runs) with the whole purpose of getting you to enjoy runnin! and of course it’s all free with no trial period or premium stuff, everything on the app is accessible to everyone 🫡 which, thank fuck, honestly.

FREE running app with NO ADS, and it’s not some shitty free version that hides all the good features behind a paywall, it’s actually free. It has so many amazing guided runs, and it’s great for beginners. I just do 1-2 miles a couple times a week for my health. It takes me about 30 min or less. Not breaking any records for speed or distance. I like the speed/interval runs because I’m more of a sprinter than a long distance runner. I don’t really have to think or make decisions because they tell me what to do.

I’m not a runner or athletic but I had surgery late last year and needed to exercise for recovery, couch to 5k app is free and now I can run 5k without stopping in about 30min. Also the app helps you improve your time after you’ve done your first 5k and is just generally gentle and not super masochistic or annoying. If you’d like to run but don’t know where to start this is THE app 4 u I pwomise xo

besides free books (physical, digital, audio) the amount of stuff u have access to is wild. i’m talking board games, sewing machines, language classes, coding lessons, cds and dvds (that you can rip and copy and kEEP - none of the librarians are gonna tell you shit for that), maker spaces, 3D printers, community events, ballet classes, movie nights, car repair lessons, resume help, free national park tickets, bat tours during october! It’s great! And for free?!?? in thIS economy? Literally why pay for a coworking space when the library is Right there, with free wifi and quiet rooms all to yourself. And if there are things you don’t see offered but want to? Ask! Or even better, offer!! Start your own thing, get to know your community members. Utilize your third spaces, they’re great!!
