Social vs Performance Groups
Not all running groups are the same — and that’s a good thing.
Some people run for the chat.
Others run for improvement.
FitChic helps you find the group that suits your goals and personality.
Social Running Groups
Social groups focus on:
- Conversation-pace running
- Community and connection
- Enjoyment over speed
- Regular routines
Perfect if running is your switch-off time.
Performance-Focused Groups
Performance groups often include:
- Structured sessions
- Pace targets or intervals
- Coaching and progression
- Goal-based training
Ideal if you’re training for events or personal improvement.
Neither Is “Better”
There’s no right or wrong choice — just what fits you right now.
Many runners move between social and performance groups over time.
Know Before You Join
FitChic listings clearly explain:
- Session style
- Expected pace
- Group focus
So you can choose confidently.
Run Your Own Way
Some days you want to chat.
Some days you want to push yourself.
There’s room for both — and FitChic supports them all.
