Hi, Team.
In this episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Jeff and Aly talk about why group runs give Aly anxiety and we share tips on how you can make your next group run a blast. It’s always important to be mindful of others, so leave the headphones at home and don’t blow snot rockets. RW+ members can watch the full episode below.
Thanks for watching. And be sure to leave a comment or send us an email at [email protected] with any questions you want answered or topics you want us to address in future episodes.
In the previous episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Jeff and Aly discussed the benefits of slow running and, in particular, how we incorporate it into our own training. Running slowly is the easiest way to get started in the sport, because it allows you to safely build fitness. But it’s also fun to slow down on group runs, when you want to talk while you jog. RW+ members can watch the full episode now.
Jeff is Runner-in-Chief for Runner’s World and the director of product testing. He has tested and reviewed running shoes, GPS watches, headphones, apparel, and more for nearly two decades. He regularly tests more than 100 pairs of shoes each year, and once had a 257-day streak running in different models. Jeff can usually be found on the roads, racing anything from the mile to a marathon, but he also enjoys racing up mountains and on snowshoes. When he’s not running, you’ll probably find him hanging from a ladder making repairs and renovations to his house (he’s also director of product testing for Popular Mechanics).
Aly is the Director of Content Hype at Runner’s World. She started running over a decade ago when she saw a Star Wars themed race happening at Disneyland and thought it looked like fun. Since then, she has run 8 marathons (so far!), and hundreds of shorter distance races. She is known for signing up for 5Ks in every city she travels to. She loves watching reality competition shows, playing board games with her husband and taking naps with her dog.
