Do you prefer to run alone or in a group?

My friends also like to run. They are all running together, laughing, making jokes and looking around to find good looking women. I like to run alone since it seems that I can get more serious this way. I wonder which way is better and do you prefer to run alone or in a group?

How to chose the right racing flats?

Why am i still so slow?

I don't know but I feel like i should be much better than i am. Its just when i run at the meets i feel so tired. I see these guys just blast right by me as soon as it starts. When i get tired during the race i just want to start walking. Does this happen to everybody or just me?

And does the proportion change in different phases of training (i.e. base vs intensity vs peak, etc..). So far for the past 7 weeks I've been...
