Has anyone here been involved in running clubs. What was your experience. I am 30 and single and just moved to a new city for my job. I have been really going through the motions the past few years training solo. I figured since I don't know anyone in the area besides some coworkers it would be good way to meet new people. Can anyone give me any insights from a running quality and social perspective.
I have been in a running club for several years and it has been a wonderful experience. Like you I am 30 and single and at this stage in my life the dynamics of the club work very well. It is a Christian running club so we all share our faith along with our love for the sport. Most of us virtually never run together other than in competition. We communicate at times but are on our own in a physical sense. This gives us the freedom to design and implement our own training but have the sense that our teammates are relying on us. I see this as the best of both worlds. At meets we pray together and compete together, drawing strength from each other. These experiences are true highlights for me.
