Funny Reasons To Not Run Alone | Chasing Tokyo 2026

Join me for a fun (and slightly painful) interval running session as I prepare for the Tokyo Marathon 2026 (a marathon i dont have a bib for yet — my final stop on the World Marathon Majors journey after completing Berlin, New York, Boston, London, Sydney, and most recently Chicago Marathon 2025. Even though I don’t yet have a confirmed spot for Tokyo 2026, I’m training with full faith and focus — and this time, I’m not doing it alone. My friend Dan joins me for a laugh-filled session of intervals, friendly competition, and a few questionable life choices mid-run. In this video, I share 5 funny and unconventional reasons why running with a friend is sometimes way better than running solo. These aren’t your usual “accountability” or “motivation” tips — expect some honest runner humour, a few truths you’ll secretly relate to, and plenty of banter along the way. If you’ve ever wondered why running with a buddy might be your best training hack (and your best comedy show), this one’s for you.
