In the running circle, we all know that there is an organization called "running group", that is, a group of people in it are people who love running and insist on running.
It can be said that everyone is a like-minded common hobby, so it has also attracted a lot of runners to join it, and even some people like the atmosphere in the running group and go to training together.
What's so good about running a group? Based on my personal experience, I think the biggest benefits of joining the running group are the following:
1. If someone accompanies you to run, relatively speaking, if you train seriously, you will progress faster;
2. No longer lonely, after all, a group of people running is much more fun;
3. There is a group report discount for participating in the marathon, and it is more convenient to participate in activities.
Personally, I feel that joining the running group is very good, so why do you still say that joining the running group is really better than running alone?
Because sometimes there are too many rules in the running group, when you first join, you will find that it is actually the same thing, and there is really no one who can run freely.
For example, we are not allowed to be late for each routine run, and the latecomer will be fined 20 yuan, and the other is to buy a group uniform, although there is no mandatory requirement, but everyone wears the same group uniform when participating in the routine run, and you will feel embarrassed when you don't wear it alone.
In addition, the most important thing is that sometimes you have to take care of others because of various problems with pace, and it is important to pay attention to the sense of teamwork and consistency.
Although it is good to have rules, but when the rules are too fixed, I personally feel that it is a bit too late, after all, it takes at least half an hour more to run 10 kilometers in 1 hour, and it takes at least half an hour more after joining the running group.
So then I quit the running group, I felt that I was still free to run alone, unrestrained, I could start running at what time I wanted, I could run as fast as I wanted, and I didn't need to take care of other people's feelings, and I didn't want others to take care of my feelings.
Therefore, in my personal view of running, I think that most of the time, running alone may be more able to find your true inner self from loneliness and enjoy the fun of running.
Of course, there are also people who join the running group not only because of running, but also because they use it as a social platform.
I think I can make friends from all walks of life and build a good social circle on the road of life, but in fact, I can tell you clearly that in addition to running together, no one else may know what your surname is on weekdays.
And most of this kind of socialization is useless, when you enter the running group with a purpose, you are doomed to run badly, but it will make you feel pressure and burden.
Especially when blindly competing with each other for running volume and speed, you will unconsciously get involved in it, resulting in ignoring the original intention of running. In the running circle, I have seen too many runners "involuted" between each other, even the running equipment has to be rolled, when you wear bad equipment, it feels embarrassing to stand together.
Of course, everyone has a different view of the running group, and it is best to choose the right one for yourself, and the rules and interpersonal environment of each running group are also different, focusing on your feelings after participating.
In short, in my opinion, I think it's better to join the running group than to run alone!
