running buddy
Jogging companion regularly
A running buddy is a person you regularly run with for exercise, providing motivation, safety, and companionship during workouts.
The term extends to any close companion you consistently do things with: She's been my running buddy since college.
In this broader sense, it suggests loyalty and shared experiences rather than literal jogging.
