Buddy runs ?

Hey all,

would someone be so kind to explain buddy runs for me. Is this something you have to arrange with someone ? Or can I just make one and post the code on here ?

Feel like this would really help me on my journey, but I currently have no one to run with.

Thanks

Morning LJB1999 . Buddy runs are still really new and I think so far, you’re the only person we’ve had using them here! Hopefully you’ll be a trend setter!

I really hope someone sees this post and gets in touch with you to let you know they’d like to buddy up. You can set up a run and share your code here but unless someone spots it, you still might not end up with a buddy. I’m crossing my fingers for you! 🤞🤞🤞

People here are really supportive and if you run and post about it, you’ll get replies with encouragement and congratulations. I know that’s not the same but it could still be motivating. I did all my runs alone and I’ve found the site really kept me going.

Good luck 🍀
