In running, it’s not only important that you have undergone rigorous training or a strict diet. Sometimes, having the confidence and the proper mindset for running is also affected by having different running team names.

For instance, you wouldn’t want to be named the “Sisters with Blisters” if you guys are brothers, right? Creating an appropriate running team name might not be as significant as your diet or your workout program, but it is important.

However, do not overdo it. Always remember that less is more. Do not opt for a funny but an embarrassing running team name just to be catchy. Choose a team name that you and your teammates will be proud of!
