Motivational Ads

Just two running-related ads I came around today that immediately made me wanna put on my running shoes and head out.

Both have this highly polished but still raw and imperfect aesthetic that I really like. Kinda like if Beef⁠ was an ad.

The first one is from Strava:

The second one from Nike1:

The latter was particularly relatable, as it actually rained during today’s run. I quite enjoy these kinds of workouts in the drizzle⁠ – fewer people around and everything seems calmer. Pure bliss.

Except when a car next to you drives through a ginormous puddle.


  1. Two other great ones from the same campaign: “Joy⁠” and “Morning⁠” ↩︎
