An online running club is always there. There are no opening hours to stick to, or schedules to follow. If it is 1 in the morning and you want to talk to someone about a challenge, a race, a training session or something else, you can! Forums where people connect and top coach tips whenever you want to access them.
Access to experts. Often a virtual running club has the added benefit of having professional and experienced coaches who are a part of what is on offer. They will post tips, videos, audios, advice and so on on a whole variety of things.
