Do you have a jogging buddy?

Someone recommended this website to me - www.joggingbuddy.com

You type in your country and area, and they give you details of people near you who are looking for someone to go running with.

Has anyone used this? I think, in principle, it's a great idea, but I'm nervous of meeting up with a stranger.

What about getting together with a friend? this would be easier than meeting with a stranger and you would have l;ots in common to talk about.

I have 2 jogging buddies! My boyfriend comes with me on the days my friend cant make it so im usually never on my own!

Check with local running clubs if they have group runs. That way you can meet new people and hopefully eventually find someone your pace.

My only jogging buddy is my 4-year-old Shiba Inu Malibu. :happy: She never gives up, listens to me talk, and forewarns me about ice on the sidewalk. Best buddy EVAH.

I have a lovely rescue dog who is my current jogging buddy. However I think I would be more motivated to go running if I had a definite date and time to meet up with other people.

The jogging buddy website sounds a good idea, but I live in the country and I would definitely be wary of meeting up with someone I didn't know, although you can specify male or female. I still don't like the idea.

I shall see if there is a local running club I can join - safety in numbers and all that!
