Ep 137 Highlights Show - Is running in a group good or bad for us?

Welcome to the Episode 137 Highlights Show of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.

In last weeks show we spoke about something nearly every runner has an opinion on: running with other people, running with running friends, club mates maybe even people youdon’t know. Some runners love the club session, or the weekend group run and the social side running. Others prefer the freedom of heading out alone, whether it be a quiet lap of the local park or a lap of the local mountain.

But is running with others actually better for us? Can it improve performance and motivation? Or can it quietly push us into training harder than we should and blunt performance levels? Lets discuss.

Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go!
