Continuing to track 11 days behind TBR 😂😂😂. I’ve also run 4,267km in those 425 days, which is a pleasing average!

The big question is, to Run the Sum or not to Run the Sum?

Messed it up last month.
Only doing it for the badge!
Starts tomorrow...

I’m sticking with WSW, it makes sense for me as a mileage runner! I don’t really have to do much so far!

Also I’d like to know how far your streak savers are? If I fancy a quiet day I tend to run 5k!

I can't play WSW with any sort of seriousness as I can access less than 50% of my grid. I do still play in a passive fashion though.

I use FetchPoint to help me decided whether to turn left or right out of my gate.

For me, a streak saver is a slow mile. I feel it neither adds nor detracts from the rest of my training. I've been able to train for marathons and Ultra's while streaking without problem.

Easy run of 2 miles just done now for day 336.

Limegreenjelly, it all depends on how I'm feeling, what the weather's like - 5k, 2 miles, minimum 1 mile if I'm truly broken!

LGJ in the early days of streaking I had a lot of 1 mile savers. Currently, with my additional GPS art challenge tends to be at least 2 miles. Fetchpoint bug disposal is one of my motivations that helps.

A lot of my streak savers are a mile too. The last couple of weeks they’ve been around 1.5 miles to protect “my” WSW squares in the multimatch.

LGJ, I’ve got a local loop of just over a mile that I’ve used as a streak saver on a couple of occasions. Otherwise my shortest regular route is just 5k. Basically whatever seems enough of an effort to you to count: your streak, your rules!
