Runners are often divided on whether they prefer the solitude of running alone or the sense of community that comes with running in a group. Whatever your preference, most of us have found ourselves needing to head out the door alone at some point. Maybe you’ve had to sneak in a quick run before your next meeting or maybe you couldn’t find someone at the same pace for a workout. Luckily, there are a lot of strategies runners can use to make the most of these solo adventures.

On today’s show, we’ll talk about why these runs may actually be beneficial for your running and how to make them more enjoyable if you struggle to get excited about training without a group. Over the course of the next hour or so, we’ll cover topics including:

How solo runs can make you a better runner
Tips to stay engaged when running alone
And we’ll even hear from you, the RC community, on your favorite strategies to keep these runs fun
