Usually it's a group that motivates each other, while following a set plan. That way you don't over do it, while properly pushing yourself.
A set plan similar to but totally isn't behind the spoiler tag
My problem in the past was doing too much too soon, and not taking enough rest days.
Following the pre-set plans I see improvement while not killing myself.
Currnetly the 10K program is just 3.2K on Mondays, but with hills. I varied it slightly to just do the streets around my house, but those has a 23m elevation, and I push myself hard on those days as I'm never far from home and it's a short run. Then my long run I take it easier as I'm going for distance and not worrying about time.
