“I’m running too. Let’s go together.”
I've been running for years, but a lot of my runs have been solo, especially whenever I travelled to a new city.
In Seoul, London and Ho Chi Minh City, I kept finding the same problem: there were people running all around me, but I didn't know how to find the right person to run with.
Even with friends, different schedules, goals or paces made running together harder than it should be.
Then it clicked: loneliness in running isn't a motivation problem. It's a coordination problem.
Sometimes you don't need another route or another number on a screen. You just want someone to say, “I'm running too. Let's go together.”
Run alone when you want. Find someone when you don't.
