I largely run solo. But I know people who run with the same people literally every single day or time they run. Not always in big groups either. Could be the same 2-3 people every day.
What the heck to you talk about to the same person every day? Or is this just my issue?
I ran XC in college and that was awesome. But when you're 35-50 years old, I don't know what I would have to say every day.
We usually talk about fashion

There are various stimulating topics. Like are trans people faking it? Are black people animals? Woke libs are cancer. Fauci is the devil. Shameless fatties must lose weight. And so on, like the thread below indicates.
https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10904169If you could make conversation with nothjng important happening in your life besides school and drinking, you can make conversation now. Most people are more successful (and more going on) and more well read as adults than in college.
Given the resistance and opposition to non-school-affiliated running in the US, every poster here younger than 24 runs with the same people all the time. Ask them about it.
It only matters for the first few minutes, then you drop em and you don’t have to hear their nonsense the rest of the run.
Another option is to half step them so they’re half a step behind you.
In that age range, you talk about kids, pets, the job.
