    Edit: Also, should it not just start with today, so everyone gets to start on an even keel days wise?

    Oh yeah, and I'll just point out that RQ is only saying this because she didn't run yesterday :pac:

    No fair starting today If you are already on a 22 day streak.
    Oh and the guy who started the thread set down the rule of a run being minimum one mile, hence me being able to inclde saturday, so no way I'm voting to change that :pac:

    Was that on your garmin? If you have a garmin and your run 'aint on it, your run doesn't count. Everyone knows that! :D

    1 mile is a bit of a piss take really and does remove all challenge. If people want to do it with 1 mile then so be it but deep down they'll know it doesn't count.

    I agree with you Racoon on starting today, granted some have already a few weeks unbroken running but to get everyone on the same date would be fantastic.
    I think on the basis of inclusivity 1.6k or 1 mile old money is suitable. We are in this for the long haul and with an injury or illness or hangover 1 mile could be a challenge too.

    1 mile is never a challenge, its a waste of time really.

    Illness/injury are all things to be avoided - thats the challenge.

    I don't think it should start today, if someone is on a streak then so be it. as long as each day meets the 3km entry limit.

    3km is splitting the difference between 1.6km and 5km :)

    I think 3k is a nice compromise.

    Some clarification.

    3km is the minimum distance that counts as a "run" for the purposes of this streak.

    A poster can have two streaks at anyone time - the present one and their previous best.

    If a poster is presently on a streak (like Condo131, BeepBeep67 above) then this is valid and can be entered.

    Threadmills count but only when inclination is 1% or above.

    Units are in kms.

    Happy streaking.

    ***Can someone change this to reflect the ordering based on days run??

    Dunno about this - I like to reserve the right not to run now and again or I might start hating it. But good luck streakers :)

    Buck, you have to remove the quote tags: [QUOTE=buck65;xxx and [/QUOTE] from the beginning/end when you quote the previous table, otherwise the next person won't be able to quote your table.

    The running streak that I started two weeks is a huge motivating factor for me. My own personal minimum is 4k or 20 minutes but I reckon 1 mile is fine as long as you put your gear on and go for a run. If you are late for the bus and have to scurry along in your work shoes then that doesn't count. Most people if they go out for a mile will end up doing at least two miles.

    Thank God we're using kilometres! Throw off the Anglo-American imperialist yoke! Plus, kilometres rack up much quicker. Very gratifying! :)

    Contradicts my programme but what harm could an extra 3km jog do? Not a rhetorical question btw!

    Also the auto sort on the table is for column 3? Is this right?

    It should be on column 3 (Days) but the table seems to be a bit messed up. Anyone got any ideas?

    I took the 1000 mile challenge table and we just have to put ourselves in the correct position.

    I'm in, should get interesting over Christmas...actually, don't know how I'm going to fit in a run this Saturday so this might be a short-lived adventure.

    Hi inthewoods you need to remove the quotes.
    Also my impression is that if you score 6 days in a streak and then take a day off, that's ok, that' just your score but yopu can start again and try and beat it, so it's an ever continuing challenge.
