“See you tonight” can mean something different when your friends are part of a running crew. The meeting spot is a starting point, the plan is a few kilometers together, and catching up happens along the route. It could be a quick run after work or a late-night race that keeps the group out well past its usual bedtime.
For some Gen Zs and Millennials, running is becoming part of their social life, not just their fitness routine. It gives them a reason to step away from their desks, see familiar faces, and experience the city after dark with people who make showing up easier. And when the run is over, there is still time to linger, talk about how it went, and make plans for the next one.
Running crews are becoming a place to build friendships around a shared routine. The run itself might be a chance to chase a personal best or clear your head after a long day. Just as often, the reason to show up is knowing someone will be there to run alongside you.

There’s no perfect English translation for tiis-ganda. The distinctly Filipino expression captures the idea of enduring discomfort or inconvenience in the name of looking good, keeping up appearances, or simply getting through what needs to be done.
And what better time for women to endure this expectation than the holidays?
For many women, that idea of tiis can extend beyond beauty, from wearing uncomfortable shoes for an event to pushing through period pain just to make it through the pain. During the holidays, when there are dinners to attend, reunions to show up for, and celebrations to smile through, it can be even easier to fall into the habit of tiis-ganda, putting on a good face and carrying on, even when your body is telling you otherwise.
