For me it has brought alot of people together, 7 of us entered the Silverstone 1/2 marathon this year and it was really good to know other people doing it, made it a lot less daunting, it also made it easier as we all socialise together everyone understood the importance of training and getting prepared for the day. To which I am sure we will do more events together as a collective.

I try not to drink as much on a Saturday night because I know it will interfere with my Sunday run.
How sad am I?

Very good point. When I first started running, from Huddersfield Sports Centre, we used to organise coach trips to the Windermere /Kendal 10 mile race and Scarborough ½ marathon. As you say, it was far less daunting running with a group of people we trained with every week. Also, the friendly competition and quest for PB's helped our progress.twinkle toes said:For me it has brought alot of people together, 7 of us entered the Silverstone 1/2 marathon this year and it was really good to know other people doing it, made it a lot less daunting, it also made it easier as we all socialise together everyone understood the importance of training and getting prepared for the day.

I struggle with the 'alcohol' bit, or lack of it when everone else is indulging, but I suppose it is doing me good, the running certainly is.......I think!Dave said:I only worry about that if I have a race on the sunday.

Hello
I think running can improve your social life, I joined a running club and lots of events have been organized, in my first year we went to Club La Santa in Lanzarote for a week and last year a trip to Amsterdam was organized to coincide with the Amsterdam Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K, you could and race or just spectate, we all had a great time and its a good way to make new friends. Even just out running you can make new friends etc. It seems strange how many runners are real ale drinkers........is there a link?

I wouldn't say it's ruined my social life - it's certainly changed it though! I used to go out drinking a fair bit which I've cut down on massively. I still get out and socialise just not so much clubbing on a friday night etc... I've managed to make a load more friends through my sporting interests too!
