I RAN EVERY DAY For 30 Days And This Is What I Learned

[@runningchannel]

Have you ever done a running streak? Do you agree with any of the things Anna learned from hers? Have you been inspired to try one? Tell us in the comments below!

[@hairyairey]

I've ran in runderwear does that count?

[@MGE0007]

I’ve run a bath......does that count????...

[@e3Scott]

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

i'm 62 years old and i started running 6 miles everyday since July 2019. I lost weight and my blood pressure is at 110/70. It is now a routine for me. i wake up at 4:20 am, get ready and hit the sports complex and complete my run at 6:00 a.m. I then drive back home (10 minutes) get ready and off to work.

Day 11: Running in the rain made me feel like a badass. "When it's pouring rain and you're bowling along through the wet, there's satisfaction in knowing you're out there and others aren't." - Peter Snell (NZ, three OGs & a 3:54.1 mile).

[@beccaalice1514]

I find when I don't want to go on a run, I just go out and walk for 5-10 minutes and by then I usually find I'm ready to run

[@mikejackson5433]

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!

[@runningchannel]

Wow! Now that is commitment Mike! Well done! (Anna)

Today's run was 3 years and 95 days for my streak. My minimum is 1 mile which I do twice a week. There have been some serious tough days. A couple of things keep me focused. I post the runs so people keep me honest. I always have a race I've entered and training for. A lot of runs are with groups like parkrun, my interval group, a social run group. Makes it fun and time flies. I simultaneously love and hate my run.

Very tempted by this. Have went around 14 days before without really thinking about it but I quite fancy the idea of every single day without fail. Just a concern about my 351 current injuries. Well done though and good vid.

[@rustybaws]

Thought I would update. I started on January 1st. Decided to run a minimum of 5K or 30 mins whichever is longer. That way as I get fitter I'll end up running slightly more and slightly quicker. Now up to 355 injuries, including groin strain, hamstring pain, achilles pain and lower calf pain but I AM LOVING IT!

[@gyozakeynsianism]

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!

[@alyssabowen2209]

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.

[@hairyairey]

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!)

[@Professional_Dirtbag_Hippie]

I have a lot of respect for people who run in streaks like this a few friends I know have reached crazy high numbers of consecutive days, but I don't see myself ever doing it. Part of this is that I run a lot of races and after a race I like to take a day off as during the race I ran as fast and as hard as I could for that distance and for longer races like Half Marathons, Marathons, and Ultras that amount of time usual increases to a few days to even a week off and as I continue to increase in my max race distance I imagine I'll need even more time. I know a lot of people who run everyday and still run races, but I've run the day after a hard race and if that race is over a 10k it usually is not a pleasant run and time off is good for the body. To those who go on 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 day to even year long streaks well done, keep going, but I have no plans of joining you.

Well, you have to be young to pull it off. At 70, sometimes I try to go 7 days in a row, but then I need a break as I feel like something is about to break. All my over 70 friend runners say to only run every other day or you are asking for injury.

[@gyozakeynsianism]

I think you're asking for injury even if you're young, unless you're careful. I'm sure Anna, an experienced runner, is very careful about what she plans for the coming weeks and is very attuned to what her body is telling her. I was most prone to injury when I was young, because I was careless. But boy did I like to run a lot in a given week.

Anna, don’t be embarrassed talking to the camera, although it’s easier said than done and I’ve noticed myself getting quieter when people are around and I’m filming. 😂 You do you and keep churning out the running content! 👊🏼

Takes me a while to warm up to being ok to do it! (Anna)

[@TinaC982]

Not a running streak, but I did have a 100 10,000/day steps streak earlier this year, I would have gotten more (even kept it up during vacation!) but I got stay in bed sick and that broke it. Working on getting it back up now!

[@missemilita7]

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 run everyday pretty much all year round, except when I have 2 week deload after a season (usually somewhere around November), where i usually do cross training or rest

[@sina516]

I decided to start running 2 miles a day everyday for 30 days on my last birthday. After day 30 I kept going. On day 44 I took a bad fall and busted my face and broke my teeth. I took 2 days off to heal and I’m back at it. Today was day 4 (48/50 days). I never thought i would get to love running.

[@georgeina08]

Well done - take care of yourself!

[@stue2485]

Motivation getting out the door is hard esp this time of year , but after you complete your run you feel amazing and glad u got out 🤣 . Thanks Anna

[@runningchannel]

Absolutely. Sometimes the hardest part is getting out the door but it’s ALWAYS worth it!

[@meggeist6932]

I love watching this channel. Thanks for this last one with 30 day challenge. I feel motivated even though it feels daunting.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for sticking with us! Just take it one day at a time! Anna

[@spudste]

I was inspired to do this when I first saw the video. So I started on the first of January it's now the 5th and so far am enjoying it, looking forward to the rest of the month.

[@runningchannel]

Good luck!

[@barryjmarling]

Just rewatched for inspiration for Red January,did the double parkrun yesterday,and a slow 5k today,trying it with dry January as think this may help.

[@mribrahim8461]

Yes Anna, I’ve been inspired by “HellahGood” I’m happy that you have being doing it to, I’m on day 18 💪🏿 Honestly it’s amazing how much your running improves; also I recommend you buy “hypervolt - gun massage” it helps you recover quickly.

[@runningchannel]

Great tip, thank you!

[@AlasdairShutt]

Brilliant video! Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

[@partydog3736]

I do high school track, and you inspire me every time I watch your videos!!

[@runningchannel]

Thanks so much!

[@ifonly2675]

More seriously i've been running everyday for at least 4 years simply because i've got to run first thing in the morning otherwise i feel like something is really wrong. Talk about addiction ! Monday is my day off which means a slow easy 5 k

[@JustKeepFlowingYes]

Wow Anna, you’re amazing and inspiring thank you so much for doing this!

[@runningchannel]

Thank you - that's really kind! (Anna)

[@lowestformofwit]

I find the running channel a huge motivation for me and will give this a go in Jan! Thanks for the help!

[@runningchannel]

👍

[@motoedd2437]

Really enjoyed your inspiring video Anna and congratulations on your marathon PB.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks so much! Amsterdam was incredible! (Anna)

[@billsimpson1532]

This is a great and inspiring video - I'd like to run every day but have suffered with numerous calf strains so I'm fearful of another repeat via overuse. I like the rule of a minimum run of a mile though. I may give that a go.

[@BBobby-kg3vr]

That is Truly an amazing idea that will give it a try next month ...right now I am doing the month long plank challenge so yours will get nicely lined up to be the next.thank you for always finding new ways to entertain and inspire us...massive thank you and massive congrats on your PB marathon 🙌👏🤗🥇🏆

[@runningchannel]

Awesome! Great goals! And thanks so much

[@nearlywheelie]

Completed RED January today, ran 205km in total over the course of the 31 days.....usually only run a couple of times a week (5k/10k max) so it was definitely more of a challenge - which I have to admit, I've really enjoyed.....even though my creaky right knee may beg to differ! Hardest part at times is just that initial getting changed and pushing yourself out the door but once out, it's all good!🏃‍♂️👍🏻

[@andyagnew3755]

Your vlogs literally made me get out my camera and give it a go. My first one is of the nyc marathon..!
