Forums >Running 101>What constitutes a run during a running streak?
Actually, I dont think this thread is asking for opinion. Given that there is an official running streak organization that governs what actually does constitute a streak then this thread is asking for a fact. And the fact is that to have a streak you must run one mile a day. Besides, with 3-4 miles arent you being just a bit elitist? What about those people that cant run 4 miles at a time yet, but still do 1-2 miles every day. From what you are saying, since they arent doing 3-4 miles, they are therefore not runners, and if they go every day they are streakers as well.
Just curious to see what ppl would count as a run if trying to run everyday for a running streak
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Lastly...I find it funny that someone gets on here calling people "idiots" and "nitwits" and criticizes people for getting worked up over inane things...when that person did the exact same thing.

Why 4? or 3? Just curious...

3 miles is also - again, my opinion - about the minimum for a run to have much meaning, unless you're running really, really slowly.
Thus, 3 miles. Or more. Okay, maybe even 2 if you're running 13-14 minute miles. But its gotta hit 20-25 minutes a day.

But for records purposes, you have to follow the rules of the record keeper. If the record keeper says a mile, then its a mile or you don't qualify for their record book.
It doesn't matter we think constitutes a run to continue a streak. It only matters what you think. Personally, I'd take anything over 0.1 mile (my training log has a 0.25 mile run logged in it - and I don't give a hoot about maintaining a running streak).
