Did you work up from 3 days per week to 4 days per week to 5 days and then eventually to 7 days per week?  OR, alternatively, did you decide that you were just going for it and started running 7 days per week?

I've increased my mileage substantially over the past few weeks (marathon in October), but I've toyed with the idea of streaking off and on for several years.  Today is day 10 of my streak, and my legs are really starting to feel it.  Does that feeling go away or do you guys just all run on tired legs all the time?

Thanks for the reply.  That's kinda what made me start (If I have to run every day to keep the streak going, then I'll actually run....maybe).  I've made it to 10 before, but I don't think I've ever made it beyond that.  My legs are tired, but are better this time than the previous time (I think).

I'm very impressed by your streaks.  Running that many days in a row seems unfathomable to me.

It's important to pay attention to your body and take easy days of 1 or 2 miles when you start feeling worn down.

+1 for this.

For me, i think I read an article in RunnersWorld with a list of running related goals you could shoot for in the upcoming year.  One of them was to run every day and it had a link to www.runeveryday.com .  I checked out the link and wanted to get more consistency in my running as well.  I had just hired a coach and was following his plan and I actually found that a nice easy 1 miler on the days he had me for full rest was pretty easy and may have even helped me recover faster.

I got through year 1 (not without some difficulty - ran with a serious case of the flu and a badly twisted ankle once) and just kept going.  I honeslty do a lot of 1 mile days it seems, but overall even if I did 1 mile every day, that would be 365 miles for the year and some people would love to get that much mileage in.

I just passed 5 1/2 years and dont know when I'll stop.  All I know is that when I do stop (whether next week or in 5 or 10 years, I want to stop because I stopped on my own, not because I forgot or couldnt find time - there is always time to get in a mile).

I was toying with the idea for a couple of weeks. But last Saturday I had a disappointing 5K. Sure it was windy and cold, but after the first 1 1/2 miles I gave myself permission to walk a hill because I lacked the internal voice that said "Just keep going". The first walk gave me permission to walk again at the 2 1/2 mile mark (pitiful). When I crossed the finish line at 33 minutes (3 minutes off pace for me, I am nearly 54 year old female)I was so angry at myself. I decided that committing to a daily run would take from me the choice to not run if I didn't feel like it. So that's my story. I started today with a 1.5 run.

True . . . although I must admit running the day after my 100 mile race was not as bad as I thought it would be! 

It's inconvenient right before and after a goal race, or a long race (last weekend, for me).
