#LikeAGirl Super Bowl Commercial Gets Runners Buzzing
The above TV commercial looks to start a movement that removes the negative connotation associated with the phrase “like a girl.” And runners of all abilities quickly took to social media to join in on Sunday night after its airing during the Super Bowl.
Always, a brand of female hygienic products, launched the campaign in 2014, but it was brought to the spotlight with its 60-second Super Bowl commercial that aired in front of millions. Immediately after it showed, the running community joined in.

It wasn’t just professional runners, either. Many women made their contribution to the campaign, be it age-group athletes or college runners like Michigan’s Erin Finn:

There’s no consensus on what Super Bowl commercial was the “best” in 2015. But as far as buzz in the running bubble? #LikeAGirl ruled the night.
