Do you have a running buddy?

Just wondering how many of you run with a friend or partner. If yes, do you think you would be able to keep it up on your own? If no, are you looking for one?

I would say that I run 75% by myself and 25% with my partner. I definitely feel like I push myself more when running with someone else.. not necessarily to go faster, but to keep going when I feel tired. Some of the days when I run by myself, I am much more tempted to stop and walk for a bit.

I am a sole runner, not many people run as slow as me. Saying that I love the buzz of events where there are thousands of people to run with. It just feels electric. I know lots of people swear by running buddies to push them further.

I prefer to run alone, I don't like being driven to someone else's pace. I go out with my OH quite often, but we warm up together, run separately, then meet up when we are finished. I will run along with others doing similar pace if it works out that way at parkrun but only if it's not forcing me along too fast.

Not what you're looking for?
