      I'm currently 12 days into a planned 16 day running streak to accumulate 161k/100 miles during that time period (averaging 10k per day)! This video has inspired me to run everyday for a month, Jan 2020 seems like a great way to start off the New Year! Love the Running Channel! I agree with all of Anna's points, more laundry, some days tougher than others to be motivated, but overall my running is progressively better and stronger. I do change up my running route even just a little bit every couple of days to keep it fresh and on days where it has been really tough to motivate myself but I get it done, even treating myself to a coffee from a local coffee shop is a nice treat. Always look forward to Running Channel videos and these great challenges Anna shares with us. :) Well done, Anna! Cheers, Scott

    Well done Anna. I am a barefoot streaker, currently on streak day 324, having started on 1st Jan this year. My personal rules are simple - a minimum of 5km outdoors (no treadmills) every day. I have loved it, although it has not always been easy. Work commitments have seen me up as early as 3:30am for a run, and on holiday I had one run where the temperature was 106 degrees F / 41 degrees C. Heavy hail one one of my long runs was also fun! 2,500km run this year so far. Keep on streaking!

    I post the runs so people keep me honest.

      So nice to hear about your progress. One tip I've learned (and reinforced by TRC) is to try to follow some training course. I do Garmin ones (it just shows up in the calendar and you can access the day's run on your watch) but you do you. Anyway the point is that the courses mix up exercises in a a way that minimizes injuries and makes you fitter faster. It's a win-win. That may not be running every day but it's very consistent and maybe better for you overall. (Also I'm sure you can find training courses that are designed for you to run every day.) Good luck!

    I totally agree with getting runs done first thing. Job done, so you can go to the pub/work late/have a big lunch/binge watch that box set. It's mentally such a hard thing to start doing, but once you get in the habit it's totally worth it. I love having the whole world to myself, the lack of pollution, and bonus of seeing beautiful sun rises and quiet misty mornings. Apparently it's also now a thing to run fasted, so that's another tick. I like to say I like to go out before I wake up.

      It's a judgement call. If there's a clear space to get by then there's no need to ring it. The worry is if you ring it and people then move into the space you're going into. Better to shout "on your right/left". I cycle with a whistle it's far more effective (especially with drivers!)

    I have RED since 1st December 2018. I have lost 3 stone and just run a Parkrun PB of 27.44. Not bad for someone who would never put kit on for anything less than 5km. It keeps me sane. I joined a little FB group called RED (run every day December). I have made some fantastic and supportive people. I love RED. Well done on your PB. Xx

    This was a great video. Well done. It’s given me something to think about. I’m 40 in mid May and since the first week of January, I’ve been back into running like never before. 5km/wk in Jan, 10km/wk in Feb, 15km/wk in Mar and now 20km/wk in Apr. My goal is a 10km run non-stop on my birthday. It’s been nearly 10 years since I’ve done that. The last 12km run I did, in 2008, I did my knee and needed an arthroscopy to clean it out. So far, my focus has been on form and nutrition. I’ve lost 9.4kg so far and absolutely loving it. Body feels absolutely great - finally. Thanks Running Channel for some extra inspiration.

    This is a small thing, but I found Anna's quick little look to her right and then left before crossing the street on day 17 so interesting. Since I live in the US and am used to cars coming from my left, I always look left then right. These are the little movements we've done thousands of times and unite us as runners, even if it's opposite!

    I am 56 years old. I run 5 miles (8Kish) at 4 am Mon-Thur, take Friday off and run a half marathon (20+ K) on Saturday and then take Sunday off. To me, I have to rest my old body on Friday’s and Sundays for my muscular and bone health. I also get a massage every 2 weeks (helps tremendously). I get tired of always hearing “I’m too old to run”. No, you just don’t want to run. You just have to be smart, patient and consistent. I do have a 7 day a week plan even though I physically run only 5 of those days.
