Others help you run better (literally)
Weirdly enough, the same 10% faster pattern emerges.
The data presented herein is a far cry from a scientific study, however, it confirms what I believe to be true. You will see better results if you enrol in a journey with other people and have folks external to you pushing you to do better.
I look forward to the times when my wife and I can run together for two reasons.
One is that it’s a nice way to spend time together (and something we could not have done previously due to my fitness levels). The second is that I know I will post a fast time, which gives me a benchmark for the next run.
