Warm one today felt good to get a good sweat on. 9:45 mm pace which is fast for me, but it felt good.
About streaks, I have did one in the summer and it was hard even just the 1 mile so don't be too quick to say it's not impressive. LOL I used my streak running to work on speed and did 1.5 miles since that's the loop by my house. After doing that I truly believe your body needs rest days, people who run every day and complain they are hurt are doing their body a disservice in my opinion. I don't think I'd ever do another streak, it even took the fun out of running for me. Again my opinion. One of Skip's coaches is on like day 1,000 or something of a streak, too much pressure for me.
@juliet3455 how about a headband instead of a hat to cover your ears. I just brought an Under Amour one and I love it. I haven't needed it to run yet, but after I run I walk Macy and usually my head is wet from sweating so I put it on. It's knit on the outside and fleece on the inside.
@shanaber 2400 runners holy moly!

Just quickly.. Have used the Nike+ app a few times now but find it drains my battery really fast.. It went from 59% down to 32% after a 30 minute walk!
Obviously that means when Istart running and adding longer runs would mean using more .. Not a good thing!
Have decided to go ahead with Strava after all..As long as its not so draining?
@Elise4270 and @Stoshew71 how do you find Strava when it comes to using battery? I know itcan also depend on the type of phone you have but am just curious.
Strava runs in the background and really doesn't do anything for you while you are running.
Strava only synchs to another app that is recording your run or else you manually push that data to strava.
So I use my Garmin watch while I run. At the end of my run, I will then synch my Garmin watch to my phone over bluetooth to upload my running data of that run to Garmin Connect from my phone then over to the main Garmin web servers (either by cell or WiFi). Garmin Connect already knows how my Strava account information so Garmin automatically synchs that run to Strava as well.
I can then see my run on Strava and GC from my phone or computer.
Now, if you use mapmyrun or endomondo or one of these other phone apps instead of a watch, then they work in a similar way. Except your phone is recording the run using one of those phone apps, then when you are done with the run, then the phone app is sending a copy of your run data that it collected over to your strava account. Now if your phone app doesn't have a direct connection to strava, there are 3rd party apps that will connect your phone app running data to strava, or you can save the run data from the phone app into a common format (like .gpx) onto your phone or computer, and then manually upload that .gpx file to your strava account.
BTW @kareF, thank you for the comment on my run on strava. I can't see your runs until you accept my friend request. Do I need to resend my FR?

So my general opinion of streak runners. Not for me. Now for some people that need something to make running fun, this may be the thing that will get them more into it. if that is what it takes to get you more dedicated to running, then I would think that is a great thing (as long as you don't overdo it and get yourself injured.
For me, the Boston Marathon is my carrot. Making it there someday is what motivates me to get out there and do it. These challenges and my running group are other sources of inspiration. In fact, when I first started out, I joined my first running challnge right here on mfp and I got hooked ever since.
Other people, the streak may be their thing.
Others, getting that strava CR or lead the leaderboard of all their friends may be their thing.
But for me personally, since Boston is my goal, it means having a strict schedule and listening to my body. That means if i feel like I need a cutback week or an extra rest day, then I will take it. Because I know "rest is actually a part of training, not avoiding training" (Dr. Jack Daniels)patrikc333 wrote: »I disagree as well for the 1 mile - it takes more effort in dressing up than running the mile
To be honest, the days I dread the most are my recovery days. They are my slowest workouts of the week, but they are also the runs that occur the day after my fastest runs, and the next day is when I feel it. So my recovery days is the equivelent of that 1 mile day. Except it is usually 4-6 miles. But I always add Sunday as my total rest day, and I will on occasion (like a cutback week or week after a race) throw in an extra rest day instead of a recovery day if I feel my body is telling me that I need that.
I rather do total rest to avoid long term injury.0 -
I know I haven't been in this month's challenge but I wanted to chime in with my perspective about streak running.
I see people who do 7 day/week running as part of their normal plans but are not streak runners because they have recovery weeks where they may take one day of rest that week along with the decrease in mileage that week. I also see people who run every day as streak runners but they take low mileage days for their recovery. In each case the only people I have seen doing either of these regularly are veteran runners who have been running with high base mileage for at least a few years. Those with less experience tend to only be able to do these things for a period of time and then have to fall back (or stop entirely for a while from an injury).
I know I am not at that point yet, but I have gone from where I started with 3 days/week to now running 6 days/week. It was a very noticeable change each time I added a day.
I would LOVE to be able to run 7 days/week to bump up that mileage, or even just to maintain mileage and maybe get a few extra minutes in one or more of the other 6 days where I have to fit in a medium-long run to hit my target weekly mileage. But I need that rest day still along with recovery weeks.
Streak runners also tend to do their streaks for a time and then typically take time off from running. Their recovery week may be a full week off from running in between streaks.
How you get your mileage can vary, the key is to be smart, only do what your body will allow, and take care of yourself.
Just my thoughts.0 -
I agree with @Stoshew71 , streak running and "listening to your body" aren't really compatible. I would never want to do anything that would jeopardize the longevity of my running days. The problem with streaks is that they don't really have a clear end. The longer you go, the more likely you are to force yourself to go even when you shouldn't just to keep the streak alive. I like goals with an end, like Boston 0

thanks @karllundy and @skippygirlsmom I'll try to remember. I'll either over selfie or completely forget

11/25 - 3.02 Was supposed to be a walk day but I really just wanted to run. So I did. Today was easier than last night and I expect to do even better when I'm back to feeling normal again.
And because of the conversation about streaks, I've decided that I am not going to participate after all. I'm one of those that will get caught up in keeping the streak alive instead of paying attention to potential injuries that could be avoided by simply taking a couple of days off. So, to those of you streaking...good luck!! For those of you keeping on with already laid plans, I'm gonna hang out with ya'll if that's ok! 0 -

Just a couple of km as part of a PT session but thanks to the extra km's I have put in to meet this challenge I have taken 30 seconds off my fastest 1km time in a couple of weeks. Really pleased with the progress and wondering what folk do for December - keep same target, increase it or reduce a little to allow for festivities?

Re @patrikc333's question on run streaking: I've done fun holiday-based ones before, and I liked them. But I think that doing long-lasting run streaks can be dangerous if you aren't listening to your body. Some people can run and run and never get injured, but most people need rest days in order to recover and prevent injury, or have to take days off due to injury. I'd rather take rest days (yay sleeping in!) to prevent injury than feel the pressure to run through anything physical, weather-related, etc. just to maintain a streak. Like @Stoshew71 said, my focus is something like a BQ time and so that's what my training focuses on and why I'll never be a "streaker"; but if someone else's training is to do a year long streak or longer, then that's their prerogative.0

@shanaber - cool article!
@skippygirlsmom - keep the cold down here, please! Good luck tomorrow! Should be fun.
Tomorrow I have a big group bike ride and then I may or may not, run 1 mile, to start off my holiday streak. I will just do it for the holidays. Since I do a lot of other biking and strength training I am just going to count the biking as part of the streak if I have to. I agree with @patrikc333 - it takes longer for me to get dressed to run than to run a mile! I think I need a lesson in why I need rest days, because I'm hard headed that way. And, since I'm going away to son's wedding first weekend in December, not sure I will get miles in then. So, it will be a "Holiday Streak if I can steak".
Good luck to all you racers and turkey trotters tomorrow and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.0 -

Speaking about streak running (in the different context)....
When I was a student at Purdue University (1989-1995), we had this thing called the Naked Olympics.
Basically, what we thought was going to be the coldest night of the year (as determined by a small group of students staying in the all male Cary Quad dorm), a group of these students would just go streaking around the courtyard of Cary Quad for a bunch of laps. Word spread out quickly and more participants (mostly male) joined in. This was an annual tradition. Well it used to be:

http://www.purdueexponent.org/opinion/article_69a27d13-d5f2-528a-8687-bab634536d6d.html
Some time after I graduated, they stopped doing it and instead now do this "Nearly Naked Mile" thing as a fundraiser. Sounds lame.
Shortly before I was a student here, the university was OK with it. But by the time I got there, it was an illegal thing to do. And students that got caught participating did get charges against them. I don't remember if it was anything serious tho. But now they are just a part of history. :-(0 -

Re: the streaking... I'm doing a bit of a holiday streak here, mostly just walking a few km's a day though while running is still out of the question (although I feel extremely tempted now that my ankle is feeling a little stronger).. So I wouldn't really call it a streak so much. I wouldn't normally run every day either as I wouldn't chance the potential injuries... I'm one of those people who can find a crack in the sidewalk!
I love running though and can't wait to get back to it!0 -
6.5 km run with 6 members of the local Running club. A moderate -11C no wind chill. The run started before Moon Rise so we did not benefit from the Full Moon. Still a nice evening with friends. 40.2 Km to get to my monthly goal - should make it as I have a 10km run planned for Friday, and a long run ~20km for Saturday, Sunday regular 7km with the club so will need 3-4km on Monday. Not very often I do 4 days in a row so could be a challenge. Sunrise:8:46 Sunset:16:26. Definitely Struggling with the Limited Daylight Hours.

@skippygirlsmom I actually want a Headband and a Toque to cover my ears to cover off the different temperature ranges I run in. Definitely looking for the knit on the outside and fleece on the inside with the windblocker over the ears.0 -

Really really grateful for exercise at the moment! Just had some stressful news and felt pretty upset so managed to get in a quick walk and it calmed me down immensely. A mole I had removed is Melanoma and I need to have more tissue removed. I know I say I can't wait to run again.. Though I am just grateful today that I can walk.. That I have my health and my family are well.. I honestly don't understand how people cannot exercise.. Just a walk - I feel so much better for it!... and it also serves as a timely reminder to have your skin checked regularly!! I'm glad I did!0 -

mixed feelings. woke up ok, run 9k ok, pain free, lowered my pace to a more acceptable one, feeling very happy, and then I felt something wrong on my right calf. I don't have positive feelings now, I think I'm going to break tomorrow. I hope they were cramps, but that's weird. that left me in a bit of bad mood, as finally I am feeling better and better for my left leg, if something wrong is going to happen to the right one right now I'll be extremely pissed.
I just want to be a bit happy and run with no problems for a week, ffs!
need to schedule a trip to the running store, didn't realize my shoes got already 1300km, last time I checked they had 800 km - where the time is going? but considering we'll pass Xmas in a month time, it does make sense
drizzle today of course, rain for tomorrow wow wow wow!
and I smelt meatballs while running through a field this morning, it's amazing what the brain can do sometimes!
rest now till tomorrow super hard HM (that I won't finish off, I got this feeling)0 -
thanks guys for your opinion about streak runners, from my point of view it is really nice to see that people recognize that it could be a type of a challenge like a particular race qualification time or a mileage goal etc, and it's not seen stupid at first glance
for me it's difficult to listen to the body (in "normal"conditions of course), as it sends contradictory messages and what I'd like to really understand properly is if running everyday is really going to increase the risk of injuries
I believe it is more tough mentally, but that's the beauty of the challenge for me (much much much more easy to say now sitting in front a PC after a run - I won't be so positive about it tomorrow in the middle of my usual Friday park run )
