Running in groups adds a social element to training but it can be tricky finding a pace that works for everyone involved.

Today’s show is all about getting the most out of training in groups and we’ll speak about:

How to use training groups to help push harder in workouts or make them feel easier
What types of runs are better suited to running in groups
How to keep yourself from going too quick when training with fast runners
How to adapt workouts to runners with different running goals and fitness levels
Examples of workouts to try with your friends or running club

Training in groups can provide the extra motivation you need to crush your next workout. All it takes is a little creativity if your friends are much faster or slower than you.

This week’s show brought to you by:

Qualia Senolytic

As a masters runner, I am always on the lookout to prevent (or at least slow down) many of the common performance declines that happen with age.

Qualia Senolytic is designed to selectively target and eliminate damaged or dysfunctional cells in the body, which are called senescent cells.

By removing these cells, senolytics aim to rejuvenate tissues, reduce inflammation, and reverse some aspects of aging.

Early research has shown senolytics can…

Lead to a reduction in systemic inflammation
Improve vascular function by reducing senescent cell burden in the arteries.
Enhance muscle regeneration while also increasing exercise capacity and decreasing recovery time
Lead to significant improvements in joint health

FAST INSOLES: Finally, Truly Custom Insoles Designed for Runners Without a Fancy Lab

If you’ve ever considered custom insoles to help with injuries or pain in your feet, but don’t have access to a running podiatrist or gait lab, then you’re going to want to check out these custom insoles from RUNFAST.

Their app uses your iphone’s hidden lidar camera to make a perfect 3d scan of your feet. The scan takes 2 minutes and is super easy to use.
Once the app has this perfect 3D scan of your feet and arches, they will begin fabrication of your custom insoles and deliver them right to your door.
Even better, the insoles are built specifically for runners, so they’re lightweight, flexible, and made from super-shoe materials.

Not only do you get the support to your arches and reduction to stress on the ball of your foot and heel, but the super-shoe material means they provide an amazing bounce to your stride.
