<![CDATA[This study aims to understand the phenomenon of running buddies in the Galuh Mas Karawang area in a healthy lifestyle. This study discusses the motives of individuals participating in running buddy activities, individual experiences during community activities, and the meaning of running buddy activities as part of a healthy lifestyle. This study uses a qualitative research method with Alfred Schutz's phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that individual motives for participating in running buddy activities are divided into because motive and in order to motive. Because motive arises from past experiences, interest in running, the need to reduce stress, and the desire to have a positive social environment. In order to motive is related to the goals of maintaining health, improving discipline, expanding social relations, and achieving personal goals. Individual experiences in the community show a sense of togetherness, social support, comfort, and positive experiences that impact mental health and social relationships among members. Running buddy activities are also interpreted as part of a healthy lifestyle that focuses not only on physical health but also mental health, discipline, a healthy diet, and consistency in engaging in positive activities. Keywords: Healthy Lifestyle, Individual Experience, Phenomenology, Running Community Phenomenon, Your Running Buddy Community. ]]>
