This episode is about the value of running friends. It is great if you are intrinsically motivated to get out here 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 mis fewer runs, get in more miles, do a better jo 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 numbers over 350 members, and a Facebook group that as of early 2014 has over 1,900 members.
