How do I get flair on this subreddit?

/r/amileaday permits flair reflecting your runstreak number, which is managed by a bot (/u/mileadaybot, thanks to its creator /u/herumph).

To show your flair in this subreddit, simply 'call' the bot by posting a comment (preferably in a Weekly Check-in thread) including only the text !flair # (e.g. !flair 1). To remove your flair just say: !remove username (e.g. !remove sailingpj).

If you would prefer legacy flair like what /u/gunslingerroland used to do, then comment: !flair legacy # This will update your flair in units of 10.

For complete instructions, go to this thread.

Hump Day - May 01, 2024

Just in time for the hardest day of the week, let's hear your COMPLAINTS AND STRUGGLES!

Is that knee or hip still nagging you? Did that other person awkwardly match pace with you for a few blocks for the third time this week? Did they instead have the audacity to pass you while looking smug?

If any of that or anything else happened this week, here is the place to vent!! If your family and friends told you to shut up because your constant running talk is making them guilty, this thread is for you!!!

Hi guys! I want to start running at least a mile a day. I just started today. So a few questions:

1.) what is a good running shoe? I have arched feet and the Adidas I have now are too flat and hurt my feet. I’m also 5’10, so I’m concerned about my knees starting to hurt with flat shoes 2.) After reading some of the posts, I saw it wasn’t recommended for a new runner to run everyday. How many rest days should I have and should I do like two days on, one day off or like what’s the best plan? 3.) Any recommended athletic running clothes that won’t break the bank? I’d prefer not to wear spandex and a sports bra only like I see on every website I look at lol

Dumb question, what is the slowest speed for a mile a day?

Yeah, like can I start by walking? I am not out of shape, but I doubt I can run o a mile a day. Maybe jog. Definitely walk. Curious what the minimum is.

Just completed two months

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post a little something celebrating my return to running and these incredible last 60 days I've had. I've been interested in streak running for years, but at best have only put together two or three weeks before stopping. I'm so stoked that this time, it's been different. I know this is a small niche sub, with not a ton of participation, but it was fun finding it early in my streak and having a way to see other people's reports, check-ins, etc. So thanks to everyone here for being part of this fun community.

Two months isn't anything crazy in the grand scheme of things, but each long streak has to go through day 60...and mine just did! Keep on running.

New(ish) Runner

I was 272 in late December. I’m currently low 240s

Mile time has gone from 20ish minutes to sub 11

I thought the weight loss would help but I’ve never (besides HS) been able to run a mile non stop due to pain in calves.

Varies from the front and back but pain is 9/10 by the end of the walk/runs

Stretch? Workouts? Any advice helps thanks

Doc told me to stop if I want to end my shin splints… do I listen?

Today is RSD#937. Coincidentally enough, it is also my year anniversary of running a 5k every day. On this day, I decided to go to the doctor due to some shin pain I was feeling on the outside bone of my shin. The doctor told me without examination that I had shin splints, and if I wanted to live a healthy life I should stop my streak dead in it’s tracks. Now you can call me stupid and addicted, but I can’t help but feel his advice was not what I should do. My pain is very low, and never happens when I run, only when I touch it. I’ve been going for two years now and can’t imagine stopping for something so trivial as basic shin pain. Has anyone else been in my scenario? I hear these stories of 50 year long running streaks and can’t help but imagine several others have been in the same boat as me, so if you have experience please let me know! Until then I decided to take it down a notch back to 1 mile every day, but will keep the streak going as I feel it’s what I should do Instead of listening to a doctor.
