One run, every day, at least a mile. I started on January 1, 2022, and have kept going ever since because I realized that a day with a run is a better day. Some days are for long adventures, on some I’ll just go for the minimum mile. My personal rule is that each UTC calendar date has to have one run of at least a mile logged, which can be tricky during travel, but makes it more interesting to me and has a cleaner look. The best ones are those that are tough to fit into a full day. Read about my conclusions after completing the first 1,000 days here.
From my synced Strava runs. A streak day needs one run of at least 1.61 km. Days use UTC; weeks run Monday–Sunday. Records cover the current streak, including partial weeks and months. Lifetime means all runs in my archive. Latest recorded run: 2026-11-13.

This was one of the best articles I've read so far in telling about a race. I couldn't put it down. Your details were so awesome. You made New York just come alive.
Great review, enjoyed reading it and recognize lots off related subjects and hurtles. I’m amazed by all your running and races well done.
Great article! I've read so many long blogs only to get bored in the middle as I suffer terribly from ADD and move on to other things. Yours has been one of few that held my attention all the way to the end.
Your good humor and ease in telling stories make this blog a really cool space. Nice review.
Amazing effort Tim, well done! Thank you for taking the time to write down your thoughts, feelings and memories from the event. There’s always something to learn from your posts and this one was no exception!! Another cracking read.
What a ride! Surely the race, but also reading about it. Thanks for taking the time to write up such a detailed report, almost feel like I was there.
