Forrest Gump\u2019s slog across America. Hitting the wall. For years, when we thought about running, it was a solo pursuit, often involving suffering, sometimes pain, and occasionally glory. Of course people ran for the health benefits, and recent research confirms cardio fitness is critical to longevity, but often, striving for those benefits felt like an uphill struggle. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-auya5i emevuu60\">Recently, there\u2019s been a vibe shift. And running\u2014jogging with a buddy or two, joining a club, training for a half, gunning for your marathon PR\u2014has started to feel a lot more fun.
