tastybalance asked: Sorry if you already mentioned it I might have missed it but ... how long a streak is supposed to last for ? btw congrats on your 21 consecutive days ;)
Why thank you!
The official Runner’s World streak was designed to run between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, a time when people usually eat and drink all the things and don’t work out. (They said you could start somewhere in that time, though.) I think the idea is that if you keep running in that time, even if it’s not very much, you’ll be better conditioned for spring races than if you didn’t run at all and then tried to pick back up in the spring.
If I weren’t so stubborn I might have started with, say, a 2-week streak (which could have happened any time and STILL been the longest I’d ever run). But I have a penchant for crazy ideas…
