Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My streak started when I went out on 1st January 2009 and wondered if I could manage the whole year.
I never ran a step until I was 40 but did some races after that and a few marathons. Not particularly good or quick.
I am a bloke.

Streaking builds its own momentum and that's one of the best and worst things. I know I wouldn't go out most days and hurdles like weather and feeling rough would be much bigger to overcome if I wasn't somehow letting the streak down by considering quitting. I have a minimum of 4 miles this year although it's varied during the last 6 years from 1 mile upwards. Good luck with it. (7.3 is a chunky start!)

Hello.CB

Ex streaker here. I have done about 4 streaks ranging from a month to about 270 days, my mim was 1.3 but that went upto 2 in my last streak, I found a new route .
Injury has been the thing that stopped me although once I was simply too lazy.
I am male. I

Thank you for the warm welcome! Don't think I am ready to join the spreadsheet yet, we'll see how it goes...

Well today would normally be a rest day, but I have been out for a quick 15 min run in between down pours!

Tomorrow and Thursday are easy as I am racing tomorrow and (almost) always go out with a friend on a Thursday. The next 'test' will be Friday, as this is also normally a rest day.
Now though, it is time to make tea!!

cackleberry, it's your choice if or when your name's added to the spreadsheet. Streaking can be tailored to each person's changing circumstances & needs - and, for me, there's the warm glow of satisfaction of ticking off another day, whether with one of 51 miles. :)

My knee made me stop the streak...it has to heal before the Berlin marathon, so I've been hitting the bike recently.
