Episode 45 - Run Streaking

Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when you trade dedicated rest days for an unbroken chain of consecutive running days? In this co-hosted round-table episode, We dive deep into the polarized world of Run Streaking—the practice of running at least one mile every single day. Together, we explore the thin line between building unstoppable discipline and sliding into compulsive training habits. From the mental grit required to lace up when life gets chaotic to the biological reality of missing key recovery days. Whether you're currently maintaining a multi-year streak, curious about taking on a 30-day challenge, or convinced that rest days are sacred, this episode delivers a transparent look at the pros, cons, and middle ground of running every single day.
