Where to find Running Groups, Running Clubs and Meet Other Runners:

Want to join a running club? Check with your local running store and ask or see if group runs are listed on their website. Running gear stores are one of the best places to get the inside double scoop on local running clubs. They’re employees are often runners and either participate or know from chatting with other local runners.

  1. Meet-Up – great site for connecting with local active groups
  2. Road Runners Club of America or local listings
  3. Instagram and Facebook – local running clubs and larger national groups with smaller local clubs often have social media pages

Running Coaches:

  1. Hal Higdon – legendary runner and running coach who’s written several running books as well as written for Runner’s World
  2. Jeff Galloway – Galloway uses the run/walk method – it’s highly recommended if you’re a new runner, coming back from an injury or injury prone.

Running Information, Tips, Articles and more:

  1. Women’s Running Magazine – great resource for articles, gear reviews and tips for runners.
  2. Runner’s World – Obvious choice and I still love it. The focus is on elite runners, but have started to feature recreational runners a lot too.
  3. Runner’s World UK 
  4. Pinterest Pins & Posts for Runners – If you need motivation just hit up Pinterest and search “Running quotes” or “Running Motivation” for a push out the door. **And be sure to follow RunEatRepeat1 on Pinterest so we can connect!**

Running Blogs:

  1. Running Blogs – I’ll post of a list of the best running blogs and fave running bloggers soon. There are soooo many – you can definitely find a runner just like you and follow their journey. (Oh and… ummm cough, RunEatRepeat.com hint hint… I’m not claiming it’s the BEST running blog since dinosaurs, but you’re already here & I need friends so… um, stick around. okay? Thanks.)  There are a lot of options and ideally it’s someone you can learn a thing or two from and/or is entertaining so you forget the pain of running and just hit the pavement in solidarity.

  2. Pro Runner Blogs and Websites – If you want to be fancy you can read professional runners’ blogs like Kara Goucher (who updates her FB more so I’m sharing that), Ryan Hall, Meb’s Words and a BIG suggestion to check out –  The Fast Life by Lauren Fleshman via RW that is great AND  Remy’s World which is the funniest running blog around!

      I visited a lot of running websites and I need to find out more about Asia running scene as most of the time I will travel around in Asia. So one of my best choice will be RunSociety.com

      Wonderful list. I credit the blogger BitchCakes with inspiring me to believe I could run!

      You listed some great sites, including a few that I didn’t know about, but will check out‎. There are also a lot of great sites mentioned in the comments. I’d add strengthrunning.com by Matt Fitzgerald, Runblogger.com and DC Rainmaker for endurance related tech reviews.

      Gametiime.com is awesome and easier (for me anyway) than Active.com. Love your blog, SkinnyChick, OnceUponaLime, OlivetoRun, and BornandRacedinChicago. And pretty much all you mentioned except the famous runners, I’m just running for myself and they are way to serious.
      Have fun on your trip!!!

      Great selection, thanks a lot. I’ve made a list in Simulty, a tool to navigate multiple website simultaneously from one single tab, so you can search through all sites at once : http://bit.ly/1a7xAHa

      I hope you’ll like it!

      I love Cool Running’s Pace Calculator…I can often remember race finish times but can’t remember my pace…I’m always typing in the numbers when race times come up in conversation!

      I really like Athlinks.com. It lets you keep track of all of the chip timed races that you’ve run. It’s really fun to look at the stats and see your PRs.

      I have definitely used all of these sites at one point or another. I am missing having active.com Iceland needs to get on making something similar so its easier to find races. Or maybe they just don’t have many since its freezing outside! I love so many running blogs they are always great for inspiration, and I always check out runeatrepeat for a good laugh after a painful run!

      Great list!

      Thanks for the mention, Bethany. It’s an honor to be thought of amongst these other great websites! 🙂 (And expanding, we are!)

      Great list! There are a couple of good ones I’d add:
      1) DailyMile.com – Great online running community and a place to post and track your workouts. Can sync with Garmin, Nike+, and a couple of other apps.
      2) Athlinks.com – Not as good of a “community” as DailyMile, but a good place to check out all of your stats from all of the races you have run, including your PR’s, rank, comparison to other members, etc.
      3) GingerRunner.com – Actually, I probably prefer his Youtube page to skip to the videos, but ALL of the content on his website is great. He is HIGHLY entertaining and has some of the best product, and race reviews anywhere.

      LOVE Running in the USA! That’s where I find 99% of my races.

      Just curious, but did I miss where this changed titles from “Just the Tip Tuesday”? I always got a chuckle out of that and thought it reflected your funny personality.

      Seriously, no one wants to suck up the the blogger? Monica, your blog is the only running website I need. There now its done, you all can go back to giving your lame answers.

      One of my favorite running sites is Twitter! I know, that’s pretty vague. Hop on there and search #running or #runchat or #motivation and you can find lots of great photos, suggestions, motivation, links to articles and discover tons of new running blogs (I think I’ve started following 20+ new blogs since joining twitter!).
      PS. I like my own blog too, but I’m still new and finding my voice. I love the community I’ve started to foster, I’ve been missing out for far too long!

      Strava rocks. It’s the perfect place to record workouts (download from Garmin or other compatible GPS device), and it’s away from FB/Twitter/etc. The only people who might see it are those who care about your workouts.

      It’s also a good competitive site–you can see where other people have gotten a QoM (Queen of the Mountain; cycling) or CR (Course Record; running), and then try to beat them. Or try to beat your previous times on various routes or roads.

      Speaking of blogs…I’m unable to get on Skinny Runner’s blog lately. Anyone else having a problem or is it just me?

      I love all the sites you mentioned. We also have a local site called Gametiime.com. Currently they only have races in WA, OR and CA, but are expanding in 2014

      I used DailyMile for tracking and love it. I use coolrunnings for their pace calculator, runnerworld for training plans… and yea that is all! I do love the few running blogs I follow (yours included, obviouslyyyy)

      I have used training programs from Cool Running. I usually just google a specific topic. I like multiple running/exercise blogs, but only 3 are on my sidebar and yours is one of them. I used Galloway for my first 10K.
