I RAN EVERY DAY For 30 Days And This Is What I Learned

What can we learn from running every day? We challenged The Running Channel presenter Anna to run every day for 30 days and document what she learned from it.

↓↓ Have you ever done a running streak? Do you agree with any of the things Anna learned from hers? Have you been inspired to try one? Tell us in the comments below ↓↓

This January, challenge yourself to get active every day, your way, with the RED January campaign.

We chose to run for this particular video, because we are The Running Channel after all, but whether you run, swim, cycle or choose your favourite fitness activity, set your goal and enjoy support from the RED community every step, splash and pedal of the way!


Kick-start your 2020 in a positive way and raise funds for Mind so together we can be active for better mental health

I’m doing a challenge to run from my 18th to 19th birthday every day, 5km minimum. I am 129 days/runs in.

i'm 62 years old and i started running 6 miles everyday since July 2019. I lost weight and my blood pressure is at 110/70. It is now a routine for me. i wake up at 4:20 am, get ready and hit the sports complex and complete my run at 6:00 a.m. I then drive back home (10 minutes) get ready and off to work.

Day 11: Running in the rain made me feel like a badass.


"When it's pouring rain and you're bowling along through the wet, there's satisfaction in knowing you're out there and others aren't." - Peter Snell (NZ, three OGs & a 3:54.1 mile).

I find when I don't want to go on a run, I just go out and walk for 5-10 minutes and by then I usually find I'm ready to run

Well done Anna. I am a barefoot streaker, currently on streak day 324, having started on 1st Jan this year. My personal rules are simple - a minimum of 5km outdoors (no treadmills) every day. I have loved it, although it has not always been easy. Work commitments have seen me up as early as 3:30am for a run, and on holiday I had one run where the temperature was 106 degrees F / 41 degrees C. Heavy hail one one of my long runs was also fun! 2, 500km run this year so far. Keep on streaking!

It’s great to see a running channel that’s super passionate about running. I can clearly tell that you love and enjoy running and it’s great to see!

*FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE DAMN WASHING!!!*
I have over 40 running shirts and sometimes it feels I only own 2 or 3 of them!!

Did anyone see the cyclist who waved at the camera on her 3rd day? 3.08

Wow. That was a really realistic view of the ups and downs of running. You are amazing. Well done on sticking it out and for your marathon result. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[NOTAFULLUN]

You cheered me up watching this. Even when you were tired, you kept going, and for anyone who had considered this type of challenge, I think this upload would have been the perfect motivational tool. This is what YouTube is about for me, sharing positivity, between generations.
Run safely.

I use dryfit stuff and hose it off in the shower as soon as I'm done. Keeps me from doing laundry constantly, dries overnight.

[steadman]

Today's run was 3 years and 95 days for my streak. My minimum is 1 mile which I do twice a week. There have been some serious tough days. A couple of things keep me focused.
I post the runs so people keep me honest.
I always have a race I've entered and training for.
A lot of runs are with groups like parkrun, my interval group, a social run group.
Makes it fun and time flies.
I simultaneously love and hate my run.

[markuseriksson]

I have just started a streak (day9 so far). my first one. My goal is at least 30 days. And for now 2k a day.

[marjankrebelj]

I only rest for about two weeks after my last marathon of the year. Every other day I run. And it is amazing to see how my body and mind transforms when there are absolutely no days off. It is another level.

[YAcostaSolutions]

Oh no! I can’t use rain as my excuse to not run anymore! Lol. Thanks for this. It’s fun seeing your runs and inspiring seeing your commitment

[alyssabowen]

I love Anna! I’ve been watching these videos preparing to get into running (I’m a strength athlete so I have to switch my workouts drastically 😂) I want to Run a marathon by the end of 2020 and a half marathon in my home town in may

[llllllllllllllllaura]

i’m definitely going to be doing RED january next year & i’ll be documenting it on my channel ♥️

[tonyhetherington]

For cycling I call the most difficult part of the ride (not the start, not the end, not the big mega stupid hill in the middle), but the very beginning; bed to shed. Once you've overcome that, you're sorted no matter what the workout throws at you

[rustybaws]

Very tempted by this. Have went around 14 days before without really thinking about it but I quite fancy the idea of every single day without fail. Just a concern about my 351 current injuries. Well done though and good vid.
