About myRunstreak

How does myRunstreak work?

Users connect myRunstreak’s app to their fitness platform. Once connected, streaks are updated in real time whenever a run has been completed. In line with common practice in the streak running community, only runs of at least one mile (1.6 km) are counted.

myRunstreak's vision

Imagine if everyone dedicated some time everyday towards their health and wellbeing! We are convinced that the world would be a healthier, happier place if more people were able to engage in regular exercise. We think that almost anyone is able to run a mile per day, and that the maintenance of a streak can be a great motivator. With our app, runners can keep track of their streaks and share their achievements within the community.

Health and safety first!

myRunstreak recommends against exercising when unwell or when conditions are otherwise unsafe. If your streak has come to an end, don’t sweat it. It happens to everyone sooner or later. Just start a new streak when you have recovered and conditions are safe!

Why did I create myRunstreak?

A few years ago, I was for the first time in my life not motivated to run. Since I was a kid I had always loved running, 5Ks or marathons, track or trails – you name it, I had run it! But now, I needed something new. I found it in the run streak. The sheer simplicity of running at least a daily mile, rain or shine, had me as soon as I tried it out. The streak brings structure to my life. It has shown me how I am able to build something big through small daily instalments.

It soon became evident however that keeping track of the streak would be a challenge. Our calendar system is simply not designed to count days over an extended period! myRunstreak allows runners to “make every day count”, and to share their accomplishments far and wide. This is my small way of giving back to the world of running. I hope you will enjoy it.
