#RunEveryDay
On February 1st, 2022, inspired by our good friend and Taranaki runner Erin Vaughan, our ten year old son Nathan (right) started a run streak. More than two years on, he’s 900+ days in, got his name on the Streak Runners International Inc. Register, and still going strong…
‘Streaking’ has been a big part of our running journey and is a challenge more difficult than you think; but done wisely, it’s fun, achievable and hugely rewarding! Now Dad/Lee streaks too, and more and more friends have been inspired to see just how long they can go.
Are you a streaker? New, experienced or just curious? Read on…
What is a Running Streak?
The official definition of a running streak, as adopted by the Streak Runners International, Inc., and United States Running Streak Association, Inc., is to run at least one mile (1.61 kilometres) within each calendar day. Running may occur on either the roads, a track, over hill and dale, or on a treadmill.

Why Streak?
Benefits of the Run Streak
A running streak can be a fun challenge, one that can also have a huge impact on fitness, so long as training is properly structured.
3 major benefits of streaking:
– Develops routine & consistency
– Aids with injury prevention
– Strengthens mindset
Consistency
#RunEveryDay
Committing to a run streak requires dedication, drive, and some time management skills! Streaking can help you stay motivated and encourage you to get moving!
“Through weather, injury, illness, and life events, we run everyday.”
Moderation
Is streaking good for your body?
Running too much can have adverse effects on the body – you need rest to recover. If you’re running every day, it is still possible to maintain a streak, just keep it real slow and short (1 mile) on those rest days.
