Running streak
[ruh-ning streek]
/ˈrʌnɪŋ strik/
Noun
A running streak is the consecutive number of days a person runs at least a specified minimum distance or duration without missing a day.
A running streak involves running at least one mile every day without missing a day. It builds discipline, consistency, and mental toughness. Real-world examples include the Streak Runners International, where members maintain streaks for years. It matters to runners as it fosters a daily habit, improves fitness, and can lead to personal growth. However, it requires careful management to avoid injury, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's body and incorporating rest and recovery strategies.
