Hot take: the run club bubble has popped. Big group runs can still be fun. I still like showing up to them from time to time. But most people eventually realize real progress doesn’t come from crowds. It comes from finding a small squad you actually train with, or just doing your own thing most of the time. Same paces. Same goals. Same early alarms. And yeah, there are still legit, well run clubs that do it right, like Tracksmith in Boston. But way too many run clubs popped up over the past couple years, and now most of them are dead. The rest are basically social clubs, dating clubs, or drinking clubs in running shoes. Totally fine. Just don’t confuse it with training.
