alone or with a group

As a qualified coach I always recomend running it a group. A group can encourige each other and you may find you do better than if you run alone. But saying this I would run alone alot myself on week end training runs. So either could work it just depends on the person

I just started running. I am on week 3 of couch-5k. But I prefer to run at night alone. It's very peaceful and gives me time to clear my thoughts.

Usually i run alone, 'coz in most cases i join fun runs and marathon alone so i don't know anyone out there. Well i was already used to running alone, when i'm training for a marathon i always train alone. It helps me a lot actually, 'coz based in my experience i get to be stronger during the marathon specially when there's a lot of runners i get run along unlike when i'm training it's very hard 'coz sometimes it happens that i run alone for almost 20K and i have no one to talk to. I feel exhausted and tired during those trainings unlike during the event (marathon) after finishing i fell like i can still run for another 5 or 10K more.
