Question regarding streaks.

Postby The Donald » Sun Jan 01, 2017 3:07 pm

In the states, I know the minimum run that can be done to keep a streak alive is commonly defined as 1 mile. What is the standard for km's? Is it different?
No one cares what I would do; therefore, I can do anything!!

I ran 42.2k; Let's see the other donald try to trump that

If the official distance is 1 mile then I would think it would have to be the equivalent in km, (1.609km). There is an association in the US that has official members and it seems to be 1 mile/1.6km as the minimum to keep a streak alive.

For me when I've embarked on a running streak, I've set it as a minimum of 30 minutes to count as a run. Unless you are wanting to join an official club or association you can set it to whatever you want.

Streaks in your hair? lol

.....

To answer the original question-- any time I've ever done a running streak it's by time, not distance.
