Forums >Health and Nutrition>Opinion on pain?
I also just started running with a new partner who is a bit slower and (though I love her dearly) has TERRIBLE form. I wonder if I mimic her, as I know when I run with my best friend (who is an amazing runner) I hit faster paces and feel better after runs. Maybe I need to not look at my running partner .
How often are you running with the slower running partner? Is it tough for you to run that slowly? I find that when I run too slowly, it is really easy for my form to get pretty terrible. When I had a sore IT band, it was noticeably harder on it to run with slower people - I did much better in my natural cadence.

Today, we just ran at my natural cadence today. First long run with no pain in four weeks! 10 miles. I walked to our rendezvous point and walked home afterwards (about a half mile each way). So excited! Still nervous that it's a false "heal" but feeling much more confident about it now.
