Running Together: The Power of Community at Highland Fitness
Running is more than just a physical activity—it's a way to connect with others and build lasting relationships. At Highland Fitness, we recognize that running groups not only improve your fitness but also strengthen community bonds. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Coach Sean from Run Strong Coach to offer group runs that combine health benefits with the power of shared experiences.
The Social and Mental Benefits of Group Running
Research shows that group running leads to stronger motivation, greater consistency, and improved mental well-being. A study from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that runners in groups tend to stay more committed to their training and achieve their goals faster(BioMed Central). Another study from theJournal of Sport and Exercise Psychologyemphasizes how running with others helps reduce anxiety and depression through mutual support (BioMed Central).
Building Connections Through Running
Running together fosters more than just physical health. The British Journal of Sports Medicine highlights how group running promotes deeper social bonds and a sense of community (Running Hobby). Additionally, running clubs create inclusive environments, breaking down social barriers and encouraging participants of all levels to connect .
