Social run club

Hi everyone,

I just run for the first time in a social running club I found on strava today. There were a lot of people but most of them were like 2 or 3 people who already knew each other. My friend who invited me was the pacer for the faster group and I decided to join the slower group for the first time, and he told me that its just a chill run and I don't HAVE to talk to people. Now, the whole run I was just chilling and running for myself, not because I didn't want to but actually because I didn't know where to start a conversation. As mentioned, people were mostly in groups of 2 or 3, and they were pretty international with different languages. I didn't want to interupt a conversation awkwardly and now want to get some ideas and ask, how you guys start conversations in these situations?

Thank you for your help fellow runners and redditors!
