This episode is about the value of running friends. It is great if you are intrinsically motivated to get out there and run every day, or almost every day, but if you develop a circle of running friends, if you join a running group, you’ll find that you miss fewer runs, get in more miles, and do a better job of sticking to your training schedule; however, none of those is the most important reason to run with a group. In this episode, I explain how I came to join a running group and later start my own club, which now has 500 members, and a Facebook group that has 6,000 members.
