Some days I am a lone wolf. I went for a run alone today and loved it. I am quite a social person but running alone is therapeutic and gives me time to get my head straight. It can get tough and difficult to motivate yourself sometimes so I do also run with a group once a week. Group running can encourage you to push yourself that little but harder and you can also learn from others. Lone wolf or pack, I’m happy either way!

Running solo or not, I always wear an updated RoadID. It has contact info for my wife, medical info like blood type, and is likely to save my life if I’m ever hit by a stray motorist for my road runs!

enjoyed this article…..I’m a lone wolf….LOVE my running time, however, would like to train for my first marathon and was wondering if signing up with a local running club would be beneficial…any thoughts?

Excelent article. Well I run with both sides. I like running with others, but, also, I feel very well moving my feet alone. However I have to say that I run alone in a 80% of my exercices. This is because I don’t find runners so old as me to run together. Je, je…When alone I run only in public parks, avoiding traffic, dogs, bicycles. I live in a city, a tropical city, and, of course, it is impossible to encounter a bear, but instead of that,it is usual to be attacked by dozens of street dogs,you know, no-owner dogs, Such situation that is not feasible in other countries. In spite of this runners around the world don’t find obstacles. Merry Christmas.

Sounds like most of us are lone wolves. I extrovert, but enjoy the time alone with just me and the road/trail. I had my first real group run last month at Grandma’s Marathon. I ran with a pace group and had a great experience. It was enjoyable because I knew I would be able to reach my goal, had a group of guys around who took turns breaking the wind off Lake Superior, and was able to chat a little bit throughout the race with the pacer and a few others as we completed the course together.

I’m a lone wolf runner, but the more I’ve been running lately, the more I’d like to put myself in the pack runner category. Looks like I need to find a running group!

Or, instead of being an “introvert,” one is a misanthrope. I run alone because I do not like people.

When I was a younger person and part of a team I was a pack runner. As I have gotten older I am a lone wolf.

I completely agree to what the article quotes…
- A lone Cheetah!
