Well, for one thing, it's a lot easier to run fast or speed up when you're in a group.
Being alone just makes it so much harder to speed up enough to catch someone more than a few second in front of you.
Competing runners work together because it will make both of them go faster. Obviously you want to out sprint them in the last 100 meters but until that point, it's better to cooperate. Working with your teammates is even better because you can encourage one another but a rival will serve the same purpose of making you faster. When together, you can draft off of each other reducing wind resistance and push each other.

How come you run faster in a group?
So the basic idea is that it's good motivation and there is less wind resistance?

As Cheezy said much better than me, competition. You want to beat the other people and beating them doesn't mean slowing down.Why?
Basically yes.So the basic idea is that it's good motivation and there is less wind resistance?
Competition, and a set pace both factor into it. I find that I run faster when running with other people; it's not a conscious effort, but I eventually do notice it happening.
I think it's the same principle as geese flying in Vs; they take turns breaking the wind for the others. You can experience a similar effect if you drive close behind an 18-wheeler for a while.
You've obviously never seen me run
