Good to read. I ran under cover of night, fearful of being ribbed by my rugby playing chums. They weren't laughing when I led the way on the stamina run at pre-season training!

So it wasn't just me then, Turkhish! On x-country runs from school, I'd take a two-shilling piece and stop for fish & chips! :-o

Uh-oh does that mean I have to retire my tracksters?

They look like they are that old :-)

What makes a streak? Is it doing z certain distance or pace? Or just going out each day? I know he did "a run" when in a leg cast ... So is it s mile of any pace that includes something that you personally call s run?
No disrespect just curious!

I think it's miles each day above a certain pace, Pix. I'm no expert though.

I don't know if its because of my replaced hip but I struggle with injury if I try running streaks these days. 4 days in a row is my max and then I'm finding I need to rest or switch to cross training for a day.

Thats just me though.

Way back when I ran 6 days in 7 but given his age I wondered what the criteria was - is there one or is is a personal goal.

Just a curious pondering!
