One of my new year goals was to do a runstreak for as long as I can. Not long after I had a horrific tummy bug. So I picked myself up and started again and I have got to 100 days!!!
I don't think it makes a huge difference on my running but it gives me a focus for my day which gives me a sense of achievement. I have found that it feels far more 'normal' to run ( if that makes sense?).
I hope to continue as long as I can and see where it takes me.
What's everyone else's experiences of streaking?

I think Ron Hill would inspire anyone, and his running streak has only just ended after about 50 years 😃 I just got some of his brand trail tights so maybe his prowess will rub off
It doesn't have to be far so I wouldn"t rule it out,,but i"s fitting it all in
One of my new year goals was to start mindfulness meditation. It took a while to get going but I downloaded an app, and now have done 76 days in a row!
Once something becomes just 'what you do' it does get easier. But I am not sure I could go running every single day, much as I love it!
I did a streak a couple of years ago, from Thanksgiving until New Year's Day. Most days I only did a mile but some days I did more. I found it quite tiring, to be honest, although you are much fitter than I am to start with However, it did increase my pace quite considerably. The other thing was that it broke my dependency on running with music, because it was too much faff to add that to the list for a 10-minute run
I ran every day last year until almost the end of September (when a virulent stomach bug stopped me). I intended to do the same this year, but the marathon training sort of interfered with things. Now my marathon is done, I intend picking this up again, as I did feel much better running every day. Like you, on some days, I only did just over a mile (my minimum is generally 2k, simply as that is twice round the block my house is on - and once around never feels far enough). I did make sure that I ran 'different' runs to make sure I wasn't constantly pounding the same muscles (so some days I would do a tempo run, others a slow, controlled heart rate run).
