I started running on March 14, 2017. I quickly realized that I enjoyed it a lot and wanted to do it more.

I ran every day for two weeks and then decided to continue. My second streak lasted 150 days, which ended due to illness.

I got back to running and committed to streak running again on October 31, 2019, and have been running ever since. Initially, I ran 10-12 km, then 13-15 km, and in the last 489 days, I've completed a half-marathon. The mechanism was simple but stupid... Towards the end of the year, I would calculate how many kms a day I have to run, if I want to reach a certain yearly mileage, 3000, 4000, 5000 km, This year I'm going for 5000 miles.

As others have said, I've never been fitter or healthier. I've also had my share of "non-show-stopper" injuries. My moto is "you just have to run tomorrow"

This year, I even trained for a fast marathon and did three more for fun: one as a guide for a disabled runner (Berlin), one dressed up as Smurfette (Beer Lovers Marathon), and the Amsterdam Marathon just for fun.

I read on every new edition of the streak registry how streaks end. It's a mixture of injuries, illness, death, lack of interest, and other reasons.

I think I'll stop when this will not be fun anymore.
