I was just curious how many days in a row some of the letsrun crowd had run without taking a day off?
I often have taken a day off every 10-14 days or so over the last decade but have decided to take up the challenge of running every day in the year 2011. So far, so good, but the winter running has been a bit tough at times with the wind and snow.
A little over 4000 currently.
On a current 400+ day streak, average 60-70 mpw.
I wonder how many of these are still active?
I'm pretty sure Steve Reed is (#16).
125 right now, am also planning on running every day of 2011. Averaging 12 miles a day, pretty decent mileage I guess. I've never been one for off days before, easy jogging does the trick for recovery and I usually feel better than taking the day completely off.
Nothing impressive, but 32. Felt great!
Wow.... I think my longest is 16 or so... We only trained 6 days a week in HS so that's all I did as a recreational runner.
If I include other exercise like weight-lifting, kayaking, or rock-climbing, then maybe 40 or 50.

My longest streak was 1,188 days, but that was 15 years ago. I am now on 22 days.
I can only handle 10 days max.

A better idea- intentionally break it every week or two.

This is correct. My sleeping streak is more important than a running streak. Haven't missed a day since I was born.

Every week or two? That seems a like overkill. I'm not a streaker myself, but I don't ever intentionally break it. I'll just miss the occasional day if I'm really busy or something hurts.
And you've never stayed up all night? You should try it at least once, just for the experience.
