This is my longest streak FJ, previously I’d run every day last July then took a day off!

Garmin says 4965.5kms which is what I run in! Google convert says that’s 3085!
Fetch says that’s 3080 miles!

Mr. K.
Maybe a daft couple of questions but asked during this morning Club Run..

What is the minimum distant that counts towards a run streak and does it need to need to be a run?

I guess Ron Hill did OTT when he streaked.

Thanks muchly.

I’m no expert but I think 1 mile is a minimum streak although I’ve not needed a streak saver! if I’m doing a big event I just cut my mileage down beforehand, I think my shortest run has been 5k!

1 mile is the usual distance as a saver generally speaking. Hi Mr K, how are you?!

It's entirely up to you Mr K. I take the view that if you have got changed and gone out of the door then the length of the run is immaterial. My shortest is .5 miles walk/run then a .5 mile run back to my sick bed, to see if there was any way that i could possibly run the county champs that afternoon. There wasn't. The 12 miles I ran today was nowhere near as difficult.

Hi Mr K!

The rules according to the Streak Runners International group (www.runeveryday.com) is that it must be a continuous mile per day to count. It used to have a time limit on it but not now. Things like waiting to cross the road are still part essentially of the continual mile - it's more to stop people doing it in bits across the day I think.

However, it's an honour system so essentially it's your streak - but no cross trainers (common question).

I used to go by one mile in under 15 minutes otherwise it’s a brisk walk . But as said above you can be creative and it’s about self honesty.

You only need to run on the days you eat!
However if you are fasting for any reason you still need to run!
