Running Solo vs. In a Group: What Runners Really Think

Some people run alone to clear their head. Others thrive with the energy of a running crew.
Personally, I like running solo, it gives me peace, flexibility, and time to disconnect but joining a running club once or twice a month has helped me meet amazing people who share the same goals along with some tips or routes to use.

But what do other runners think?

🎥 Watch the video below where I asked 6 people about their preferences:

🧠 What Science Says

A study found that people who exercise in groups tend to form stronger social bonds, and these connections make them more likely to stick with their workout routine. This suggests that running in a group can do more than improve your fitness,  it might also help you stay consistent by making the experience more enjoyable and communal.

You can find local running clubs in cities like Bogotá, Lucerne, Zurich, Madrid, London, New York, or Singapore.
But if there’s no club near you… why not start your own? Post on social, grab a friend, and run for coffee. ☕🏃‍♀️
