I have some friends who want to jog really slow all the time for no reason. They're fit enough to run much faster, but don't. It's painfully slow. I like running my actual easy pace, not my zombie/post-race cool-down pace.
Oh, what to do.. what to do...
Leave them in the dust.
Pull a tire. You can run your effort and their pace. win/win
Just coordinate to run with them on your easy days or morning run or something like that.

Sure is hard to read a short OP, ain't it
"Really that hard......" gtfo
Gottem.
Let your legs do the talking
Just tell them you don't want to run with them because you want to run faster.
I've had some friends who were faster than me run with me and they kept saying things like
"going this slow is really good for me..." or "I'm going to run a fartlek up to that tree and then circle back"
Kinda annoying. I'd much rather they just tell me at the start they don't want to run that slow.
It worked much better just to say we'll meet up and the start, each do our own thing, and maybe see each other after.

As the only person actually posting helpful info on this thread, I will try another: Start 15 minutes after them, and catch up.
say 'gobble gobble mother f u c k e r' then fart in their face
How do girls tell you that you are too beta for them?

Your Greek mother calls me her beta choice all the time because she gets tired of your dad
She also tells me it's annoying how often you ask for custom milk
I’m guessing by your attitude that you think your sh1t don’t stink, but in reality you are just a slow jogger yet your friends are even slower.

What attitude? I'm just putting people in their place. Sorry, not sorry.

Nah, you were right. I should let trolls be and focus on self-improvement. I was acting like a douche bag
Have a good week
Deciding to run 1-2 days a week slower with these guys because spending time running with people you like is more important than just running. And my legs would probably appreciate a slog day every now and then
Your friends will not mind if you run ahead of them and do your own thing. I've never minded when faster runners do it ... I understand. If they don't understand and aren't cool with it, well, screw em and take off anyway.

Sacrifice 1-2 days per week and run with your friends. You’ll adjust to the slowness.
I have slowed myself down a lot on my easy days and the PRs just keep coming.
