I Ran Everyday for a Year *was it worth it?*

I ran everyday for a year! one year ago I decided to start a run streak, here is everything that happened. How much I ran, running shoes I recommend, setting goals, building healthy habits for the new year, and lots of tips and tricks not just for those running but starting any fitness journey. Enjoy!

Any comment from me will be from this account, which will appear: 1) With a verified checkmark 2) Name "Keltie O'Connor" 3) Is highlight As this comment looks, I'm so sorry there is crappy people out there like this

[@clickherenowz]

you spelled dairy instead of diary btw

[@KateS1980]

Keltie I have run almost every day for the past 25 years. Through heat, snow, rain, sleet and gale-force winds. I've run to win and to be loved and not to be noticed but to disappear. And, even after all this time, I still don't know whether running is madness or the clearest kind of sanity.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Wow this is a tidally beautiful 🤍 there’s always beautiful in the madness I believe. There’s such a deep mess to the story to a run journey

[@jenmatt1923]

My dad did this for many decades. He used to come home with icicles coming out of his nose. It was his therapy and an escape from a life he didn't want. He eventually busted both of his knees up pretty badly and can only walk now. Take it easy out there. Be the tortoise, not the hare.

[@guga19870609]

I'm coming to 10 years mark in a month. Started with an idea of trying to do 1 year and now it's an addiction. I wanted to do just ("just") 365 days in a row. So now I have it, almost 3650 days in a row. I can not not go. I wake up I do stuff, doesn't matter if I need to leave to work at 7 or 9 or don't have to do anything - the run must be there! I'm not saying you'll have that "problem". I know it's my personality (pretty much whatever I try and I like it, in becoming addicted to it). But, if I knew it's gonna end up like this, I think I would not proceed with that idea. Or would I still do it...? I dunno :)

[@KateS1980]

@@guga19870609 This is 100% me...I also cannot NOT go! Keep up the streak!

[@kagurautanoko]

Wow. Massive respect to you!!

[@DaydreamingThroughBooks]

The 1 meter run after surgery is a game changer idea for me. I love your outlook on everything.

[@KeltieOConnor]

So happy you liked that mindset ☺️

[@audball217]

I’m a proud slow runner. I’ve done 3 half marathons and 1 marathon. I trained and ran with my best friend since high school. We went running back then and couldn’t do 1 mile, and then got to 26 miles as adults. I’m so happy to hear about your judgement free running. It truly doesn’t matter what your pace is, but the only thing that matters is the effort and finding your joy in it. I definitely had to overcome my self loathing for not being fast, but then also not taking it personal when runners would say my pace was basically walking. It’s worth it to get in the running habit 💕

[@oshinofalakoju5749]

So happy to hear that you're doing at your own pace!

[@remigal899]

Do you have any tips on how to run better in general and grow endurance?

[@audball217]

@@remigal899 when I start training for a race or just run in general, the thing I do that helps avoid injury but helps endurance, is running in intervals. There are apps that can do this for you, you just put that you want to run for x amount of time and then walk for x amount of time. If I haven’t ran in awhile, I’ll do a run 1-2 minutes then walk 30 seconds. Then as I feel like that is getting easier after a couple runs, I run longer times then still walk 30 seconds to 1 minute in those intervals. The whole time or distance is up to you. You can do intervals for 30 minutes, or you can say that today you want to cover 2 miles (for example). I get shin splints if I go too fast or if I run too far, without proper build up in my endurance. So just take it slow, listen to your body, watch videos on running form, and just keep at it. There was a point where 1 mile was next to impossible, and then I was doing 4 mile runs casually. And enjoying those 4 miles. You can absolutely get to whatever goal you have. You got this!

[@remigal899]

@@audball217 thanks so much. This is a big help! And thanks for the encouragement.

[@Alliedesmond]

At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to do yoga everyday that year. I broke my first long streak at day 75 and your run streak inspired me to keep going after I broke my streak. I’ve done yoga everyday since and I’m now up to day 297. I love that this streak has turned into a habit and I now do yoga everyday for myself and the streak is the added bonus❤

[@lucycowie7245]

I am attempting to do meditation everyday. my longest streak was 2 or 3 days. gotta start somewhere, I'll do one right now. good luck on your yoga journey

[@Vanisleholisticwellness]

I LOVE this type of content. The emphasis on habits and the long game is so refreshing for fitness content. It can be so easy to be disheartened getting started in fitness but your journey shows what's possible when we aim to respect our bodies and get just 1% better everyday. I went from not running at all to running a half marathon in 2022 and it was such a confidence boost knowing I can do things that feel impossible if I just take a step everyday towards that goal. I watched your content a long the way to keep me motivated. Thank you so much for what you're doing in this corner of the internet :)

[@megancooper6130]

Love that 1 meter run. Backseat runners can really take the joy out of the sport! Run as much as you can recover from is a great idea : ) congratulations Keltie!!!

[@Lulu.G-61]

I am 61 and I started running again a year and a half ago after not running for over 25yrs. I love it and decided to try running a half marathon this year. I love the idea of keeping a streak by running even a short bit, fast or slow. Thank you for this inspiration!

[@lady0shady]

Good luck 🤞💕

[@jxjc1]

WOW

[@kelleyreed9501]

One thing that’s on my bucket list is to run a marathon. I finally looked into it and where I’m at fitness wise is a reasonable goal for me! What you say about running is completely what I think when it comes to it. Congratulations on reaching 365!

[@KeltieOConnor]

So excited for you Kelley!! Good luck with marathon training ☺️

[@tyajoy]

Ooooo I love the tip about putting on layers, running in place inside to get hot, and then starting the run - I always struggle with cold weather runs I'm going to try that!

[@KeltieOConnor]

It’s a game changer!! Hope it works for you ☺️

[@n1colets]

I just saw this video and tomorrow i start my streak!! January 5 will be my day ONE

[@zaidaabdulla7414]

Keltie, I tried a 30 day run streak a few weeks ago. I did 10km a day and finished it. It was the best feeling I experienced in years. You showed me, that setting a goal for myself and attaining it is very possible. Thank you so much for the inspo. I do have an injury at the moment, but I will get out there again. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@laragraham5861]

You have been a major inspiration in my running journey and I can't thank you enough! It has drastically improved my mental state and I can't wait to keep moving and improving. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your content 💕

[@pugsondrugs5480]

This is making me want to try running everyday now lol. At the moment I have a strict every-other-day schedule because I love distance , but your point about super short runs still counting is really motivating!

[@Grace-zi6md]

I love the idea of a running habit being a vehicle to showing myself the city and new scenery. That 365 video montage had me fantasizing about running while traveling for work. Take those endorphins with me everywhere. Such a positive way to get acclimated to a new environment. Thank you for this very inspiring and thoughtful video. I want a running habit now.

[@marcsho]

I've been running for years now. At some points, it just feels like autopilot. But after randomly watching this video, seeing all the familiar spots, and your dedication, I'm feeling pumped again. I'm heading out for a rainy seawall run right now. Thanks for the motivation! Great video!

[@arctic_desert]

the 'runner's nod' makes my day much better without fail

[@optikrogue]

I started running a year ago for physio, and turned out I love it. I run 3 times a week currently, and have only cancelled runs after Freezing rain (due to safety issue). I have to say the biggest hurdle I had to overcome was still thinking of it as a run even if I needed to take a walking break. Now that I have accepted it's still running, I feel better. I'm slowly working up my distance, but focus mostly on time right now. Struggle runs are still awesome because thats still more than what I was able to do a year ago. But I agree - keep setting goals if you're goal oriented. It helps to keep motivation up.! Thanks for sharing with us!!

[@powlinable]

I love your mindset about this running streak! Esecially this 1m a Day after surgery is genius and it's way better then not doing anything and being sad about it. Also, seeing your runs on strava everytime I was going for a run, motivated me so hard... So thanks for sharing every bit. :) Keep going, whatever your next (running) challenge is.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Thank you for following along on Strava tooo 🤍 my little community there was the reason I kept going with this streak

[@Molly_Mahoney]

I am not a runner at all, like 3 miles - I die. But my sister and I have a goal to train and run a half in Sept this year! You've definitely inspired me to get after it! Thank you :)

[@Ratsfrom42]

You inspired me last year to do a 30 day run streak and I did it, really enjoyed it, and when it was over I decided that it was not where I wanted to put my energy going forward. I ran more than I thought I ever could and ENJOYED it and now going for a run is so easy mentally when I want to.

[@danwinter8395]

Thank you for running every day! You don't let the weather affect you, that's so strong! I love it!

[@KeltieOConnor]

Thank you!!

[@glaeli1184]

I’ve always felt not that good while running, I don’t love the out of breath feeling or the weakness in my joints, but then I understood what the problem was: I was running for others as others said to run, pushing myself for no reason to go at a peace that was wrong for me. So I started simply making some small slow runs part of my walking routine (I love walking), and now I enjoy them a lot! I alternate between walking, fast sprinting and slow running following my inspiration and it’s fun, it keeps things fresh and interesting and I don’t feel like dying with my heart in my throat. Sport should be first and foremost about feeling good in your body, it’s always good to listen and have fun! Congrats on your streak!!

[@kellyjohnally7880]

This was such a fun watch, I felt your joy. Here's to run 1000!

[@KeltieOConnor]

[@wildwavynina]

Omg yes yes yes!!! How amazing and congratulation!!!😍 I started my 365 day challenge of doing yoga every day in March 2022 (having surgery and health issues in 2021 and being so tired of not moving), and it has changed my life too. It kick started my healing my whole relationship with exercise and movement. My boyfriend is a runner and I even asked me if he could teach me and I ran my first ever Trailrunning race in 2022, which was 7km and at that time my biggest distance ever!!! And guess what? I will do another 5km race in March and I started training for that. I am so excited and also glad that I now understand a bit more of my boyfriends passion. And he asks me for tipps on mobility and flexibility to improve his running. It's beautiful, like you said, that sense of community after all we been through.

[@sarahperriseau9466]

You have inspired me. I’ve never been a runner, never wanted to be a runner. At 5’10” it didn’t seem realistic for me. I started last week and I’m running just 3 times a week to supplement my resistance training. 3 down and 997 to go!! I’m in for a 1,000 runs with you! 🎉

[@melissavanderkooy1837]

I love this - especially the part about running being pretentious! I think a lot of sports are like this, encouraging people to be all in on ONE thing rather than enjoying the balance of multiple types of fitness and moving in a way that makes you feel good!

[@ChristineHK]

Wow! you re such an inspiration, Keltie! I'm thinking....I wonder if I can do this...at 73? What a challenge but I'd definitely be starting out small. But first...running shoes. My Nikes have seen better days and they were on the low end of cost. I did go out running many years ago when my 47 year old son was 5 and I remember running my first mile and the runner's high. It was great! Looking forward to MORE videos from you. Keep running!

There's always space to improve, even if it's just a few meters. Remember to have fun💪

Thank you for being so blunt about how running can be the most pretentious sport. I started running a few years ago and did a marathon last year and try to keep a very healthy distance away from all that chatter because it was so toxic

[@cannuckchick7522]

Really great content! I’ve been a “runner” off and on for several decades. I did a handful of marathons with the last in October 2022 and have it in mind to try another. I love your concept of doing as little as a meter to keep the consistency and your long goal of 1,000 runs. You’ve inspired me to try for 150 runs in 2023. My basic goal is 3 runs per week, but this gives me a bit of leeway should life get in the way. Here’s to a happy, healthy, running 2023!!

[@alishakoeberle215]

This is truly inspiring. Running for me is hard, my ankle on my one side is very messed up so I stick with strength, cardio, yoga and Pilates. I am proud when I get my 5 days a week! Working on simple goals, day by day is so much easier than one huge goal!

[@betopatino8284]

I have a lot of respect for you! Couldn’t run right after surgery so you lowered the intensity. This could’ve been your excuse to break your streak but it did not. You should be really proud of yourself, when hard times in life come don’t forget what you’ve achieved!

I ran 6 days a week for a year and a half. I took Sundays off. It felt so great! I still remember the day I went out in torrential rain, it was not a particularly great run, but it sticks in my mind because I did it. I did a half marathon just so I could say that I did!

[@ellaweldy3900]

Congrats!! I'm about a 1.25 years into my run streak personally and I definitely see a lot of pros cons. What I really like is that I can literally run 1 mile at a shuffle and not be hard on myself. It's so low pressure. Some days are 20+ miles some days are 1 mile. It is what it is.

[@ellaweldy3900]

Also LOVEE your running Playlists. Listened to your older Run Forrest Run today and had a killer tempo run.

[@laurenaronson8289]

fantastic insight Keltie. I have always loved running and picked it up again in the last 3yrs after having my second child and because of a friend who started a run group. I started slow and felt super supported by the group. One thing I will mention is at some point I got caught up in competition with others but also myself and pushing myself harder because I was trying to keep up with the faster runners in my group and it led to injury after injury. The last 8months I've slowed down and am making a conscious decision to go my own pace so that I can enjoy running again. I burned out hardcore. Running for me is something I want to continue lifelong and am happy to say I'm back on track! Amazing content as always.

[@ivylovesrunning]

Running is fun! It is the best part of my day as I always look forward to it every day.

[@Marvelousmax94]

[@fanni940]

GREAT message! My running pace is quite slow and I haven't done it in a while, so I'm just getting back into this. I've always felt like other ppl are much faster/better thn me, and for this reason I never run with anyone, strictly alone. Your one meter runs really inspired me, and the kind of mental toughness you have! Thank you❤️

[@CBGSR]

I've had to run regularly to maintain fitness for work for the last 8 years, but it's only been in the last couple months where I've actually been interested in doing it for my own health and personal benefit.

This week, however, I finally got the green light (mind you a small green light) from my physical therapist to start doing intervals (walk | jog), and I am over the moon! Like you said, it’s all about meeting your body where your at, and enjoying the love of movement! ❤ Congrats again!!!

Well done on your one-year run streak! I am happy it was an enjoyable challenge for you and that you love running. I quit running after my first half-marathon back in 2018. I didn't enjoy the run, and I ended up having to get physio for months and still have hip pain from time to time so running just isn't for me anymore because of the bad experience but I am glad I gave it a try and definitely urge others to take their time and don't push yourselves too hard.

I do the 12 miles on the bike bc it's in my home and some days I cannot get out to run, it's just the way life is.

I always worry about what people are going to think back in the day that was my fear, now I say “Who Care” they need to join me. I did injure my kneel about 2 years ago, and it’s much better, but I do have to wear a brace on it sometimes, but the weirdest part is that when I run my knee does not hurt and my back stopped hurting as well, so I will go get me some new shoes and go for it. Thanks Keltie....and CONGRATULATIONS

It’s amazing this video came up in my feed as I started this on Jan 1! I have done marathons etc but through covid took a break from running and focused on other workouts. I missed it so running is back in my life. Thanks for the awesome video!

I needed this, I just started my first ever run streak, just finished day 4. Funny enough... I'm an ultra runner. Even funnier... ultra runners are the most inclusive, least judgemental, most helpful segment of runners out there. I've done road, trail, different distances... I can honestly say 100% you have ultra runners pegged COMPLETELY wrong. Try a 50k, it would make a great video. It's basically a day long picnic with walking and running between eating. You can run slowly, walk as much as you need, you're actually almost expected to walk hills, and no one cares what your pace is, just that you finish. Because you're competing against yourself, the distance, the weather, the terrain... the other runners in the race will happily HELP others succeed, encouraging, giving advice, or even needed supplies. Honestly, at least GO to an ultra so that you can experience the camaraderie, THEN you can talk about us crazy ultra runners. 🤪 Loved the video, looking forward to exploring your channel.

So inspired that you continued your streak even in freezing cold temperatures! So great to show the long journey too of habit formation!

[@sarahbilton8880]

Great content, and motivating for someone who is thinking about forming this is a habit. Your rule of ‘there are no rules’ and run a metre if that’s all you can do is a great mindset! ☺️ x

[@SophieCox]

Just started running! Not daily but a couple times a week and definitely using this approach 😊

[@KeltieOConnor]

LOVE hearing this!! Congrats on starting running ☺️

[@VirtualTrailRunning]

A couple times a week is still excellent!!

[@katerinavoulgaris7411]

hi Keltie, have you ever done a video on cold weather running, like how to dress and motivation tips? I have no problem getting out there regularly until it dips below 45 or so.

[@carolinaconfraria718]

Just started following you on Strava but I still can’t see your runs 😢 anywayyy just wanted you to know you inspire me so much with running! P.s. also your workout playlists are the best. ❤

[@susannaandersson7882]

Hi! I really appreciate you and the things you said about running. I’ve always thought you had to at least run 5 k, and somewhat fast, if you were to run, but I can’t do that. So I loved watching you run a meter and still call it a run. So now I’m also gonna go for a run. It might not be more than a meter, but I am still gonna call it a run, so thx❤️

[@elishamiller9326]

I went for my first run today, and I just stumbled upon this video. Guess I have a new goal! Run everyday for 30 days!

[@vanessad5629]

It’s finally here… been waiting so long for this. 🙌🏻 Happy New Year Keltie! 🤍

[@bellaglass2908]

A friend invited me to run my first 5k race last year. I thought it would be fun to be able to say I ran in a race. I ended up getting 2nd place for my age group and something went off in my head that said I should keep doing this. I run about 5 to 6 days a week. Slow, fast, short and long. I enjoy it very much! All three of my children join me now too. My goal this year is to run 1000 miles!
