REAL RUNNER’S HANDBOOK

TRAINING BUDDIES MANIFESTO

Finding the perfect training partner is a challenge. It’s not enough to have someone who matches your speed; you also have to find someone whose company you enjoy over lots of miles. I have plenty of friends perfect for a dinner party or a coffee chat, but if I had to share a 16-mile run through the desert with some of those same people, it’s highly likely only one of us would return to the trailhead.

My training partners are some of my most cherished friends. Over our shared miles, we’ve celebrated, mourned, bullshitted, chastised, chased, been chased, gotten lost, and made profound discoveries. Even after all that, they still allow me to be seen in public with them.

There are some fundamental tenets of a relationship between running partners—rules that don’t typically apply to friendships “on the outside” (read: in the nonrunning world).

So, reader, behold! I give you the manifesto of training partners everywhere.
