What difference has the help, support, wisdom, and company of other runners or even other people made to your running performance and experience? Has the impact been all positive, or have you had negative effects from others?<br><br>
There are so many instances I can think of, from the rewards of helping friends prepare for their first marathons, to my coach's workouts that I don't completely believe I can do but can do because she believes I can, to looking forward to coming to this site to share the day's workout.<br><br>
Right now I am really missing my long run buddy, who recently relocated to The Netherlands. He was slightly faster than me but generous enough to take many of his long runs easier so we could talk. We are so different in many ways, but ran well and talked well together and the time on the running path flew by. Long runs have not been the same since.<br><br>
Sometimes I don't think this is such an individual sport at all.
