It's definitely a hard thing to find the right group and running partner for you. Sometimes I run with someone who is a bit too fast/slow, but a lot of the time if I don't feel like compromising, I'll just run my own pace even if it means I'll be myself. It is nice having a group of people who all get the running and racing thing though. And having runner parties, brunches and coffee are all a big part of why we all continue to go running. :)Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-31740411458492034882010-12-10T00:23:47.092-06:002010-12-10T00:23:47.092-06:00I have never run with a group.

I like to do the races because this is when I push harder. Otherwise I don't like to talk and I find myself pretty miserable if I'm having to work with someone else on a run.

Or a group where you're all buds and running alone together. I just can't get there yet. My days can sometimes be bad and sometimes be good. And I don't like to hold people back if I'm having a bad day. One good thing about running with a group is that they push you to keep going which I think is pretty important when training. I hope to work on my running a lot more and when spring rolls around try and start running regularly with a group.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124237218230761780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-36089952763927625502010-12-09T15:34:17.097-06:002010-12-09T15:34:17.097-06:00i pretty much run by myself. mostly because i can...i pretty much run by myself. mostly because i can barely talk and run at the same time.<br /> you need a marathon page where you show all your races. im getting jealous already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-78971322521337381632010-12-09T12:58:41.989-06:002010-12-09T12:58:41.989-06:00I found a running group, have done one group run, ...I found a running group, have done one group run, will give it a couple more before I make a real decision.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-18171511674260184992010-12-09T12:14:27.648-06:002010-12-09T12:14:27.648-06:00I cannot run with other people!

I would LOVE to have someone here that I could run with, especially on the long runs. What marathon are you running next?!

You are a running machine, girl!!<br /><br />I tried joining a running group sponsored by a running store this summer, but I gave up because everyone ran either a minute faster or a minute slower than I wanted to...

If I'm training for a race and have specific workouts to do, I either do them alone or with one person who runs my pace. Plans are always set out ahead of time so each of us knows what to expect out of each run we do.Fogeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907440421662438872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-82167669263447794202010-12-09T09:55:47.638-06:002010-12-09T09:55:47.638-06:00I only like running with people faster than me...l...I only like running with people faster than me...love the challenge.<br />You have a marathon this weekend??

I had no idea what to expect and didn't have a clue what kind of paces the people in it ran but it all worked out really well. I was clear in front during one leg, clear in back another and I enjoyed it - definitely something to add into the mix - not all the time, but sometimes!abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956734205798602159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-50532675503954447302010-12-09T09:20:43.358-06:002010-12-09T09:20:43.358-06:00I've never run with a running group.

I usually run with my sister though, and she slows her pace to stick with me. Good for you for giving it a try though, I won't even go that far (yet).Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260238987157763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-3702268582100272502010-12-09T09:14:38.037-06:002010-12-09T09:14:38.037-06:00I ocassionally run with a group, but more often if...I ocassionally run with a group, but more often if I am not running alone I am running with my friend Tom. The two of us run about the same pace so we occassionally do long runs together.... he has gotten faster then me on the shorter distances (but I still have the fastest marathong, ha!). <br /><br />Tom and I have also run races together, rarely do we finish together though. We agree and understand that usually one of us is having a better day than the other. If he or I feel good the last few miles its fine to go ahead. It works for us.Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452458515089448886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-31580884188315627652010-12-09T09:13:04.274-06:002010-12-09T09:13:04.274-06:00You and Jen are so fast!

But I definitely like running with faster people on longer runs (as long as they don't mind putting up with me and my short legs) because it helps me push myself. I enjoy the 8am group at Audubon park as long as I have people who are also running a long way because a lot of the runners are good for a loop around the fly and that's it.<br />My main running buddy, Margee, seems to train at a pace close to mine (and is around my height) and is good about pushing me when we race together. She's definitely a bit faster than me though but doesn't seem to mind racing with me so I hope I'm not slowing her down too much!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.com
