171: Running Alone Is Holding You Back... Here's Why

Running is often seen as a solo sport, but could running alone be limiting your progress and performance?

Andy, Rick and Sarah explore the scientific evidence showing how running with others can boost performance, increase motivation and improve mental wellbeing. Andy shares insights from his professional running career and Olympic experience, while Sarah explains how joining a running group has transformed both her training and enjoyment of the sport.

In this episode, we swapped our London studio for a multistory car park in the heart of Buenos Aires, to take part in the On Squad Race Series. Andy, Rick and Sarah immerse themselves in Argentinian running culture, soaking up the energy of the city and the community spirit surrounding the event.
