This is a fantastic website full of running statistics from Adrien Friggeri, who has been running every day for more than ten years in a row. I love how all the statistics have been brought together in different graphs and data points.
I didn’t start running until I was in my late twenties, and even so I would end up in a pattern where I’d get motivated and go on a couple of runs, take a few days off, go on another run the following week, and next thing you know it’s been a month since I last run. Rinse and repeat.
In July 2015, something changed. I headed out on a run on a Tuesday, then did another one the next day, and the day after, and… I took the Friday off. When I woke up on July 11, 2015 I remember thinking I could have done 4 days in a row, so I set out to try and do that. 4 days turned into a week, then a month, then two, then six, then a year, and here I am, ten years later.
