Running Every Day For 4 Years! THIS is why I stopped..

😂 "i forgot"! 😂 Killed me. Thanks as always Göran . You're such an inspiration

I've never personally liked tracking streaks with things, simply because it feels really overwhelming and demotivating for me to miss a day -- rebuilding a big streak seems monumental. I personally prefer to accept it and think "ok, i missed a session today, I'll make sure not to miss the next one" -- not focusing on a big long term picture, but on intrinsically motivated day to day consistency. Of course everything works differently for different people, but this is what works for me.

Haha I made you run 1 meter

I run every day for 2 years now , i was overweight whole life now i can run half marathon and quite fit. But i run like a dog, just for fun i dont push myself or make myself suffer so to speak, i run and that is it.

You are an inspiration Göran. I actually started running because of you. It took me 70 runs to get to my first 10km. I owe you man!❤

Who you are without elite sport? You look like a super nice guy and undoubtedly a great dad ❤ and of course great videos.

Thanks for sharing! Still, a streak that goes over 4 years is absolutely fantastic! Kudos!

I can relate to this! I started a streak when I was 16 (writing 30 minutes per day as I wanted to be a writer, so not running), and it was amazing and really shaped me as a person for the better. It gave me consistency and discipline that I really lacked back then. But several years in, it started to become more and more of a mental burden. 4 years in, I also basically forgot to write, went to sleep, then woke up in a terror realising I hadn't written yet. In hindsight I wish I'd fully forgotten like you had, because it took me until year 7 to make the conscious decision to stop my streak. It was a real weight off my shoulders!

I have followed you for some time now, and I think you are such a big inspiration. Not only do you manage to make your videos very interesting to watch, but your always very positive personality, is contagious in a good way. Looking forward to see more from you :)

My favorite Forrest Gump theme is the one about him running coast to coast back and forth and then stopping. Stopping can be very challenging.

Great video Göran! I've been making my way through your archive of videos and its great to see how much your presenting and editing has improved over the years (even though your older videos are still very cool). I always look forward to your new uploads, they give me a lot of inspiration! Thanks again for sharing! 🙌🏻

Amazing video setup this time! Illumination on your face was so enjoyable 😊

4 years is very impressive!! If anything, forgetting to run because of life obligations just means we are human and “it happens”. I love your attitude and the realization that it’s ok to take a rest day when appropriate! Keep up the great content! 👍

Your editing has become so much better! Keep up the good work Göran!

Congrats on that journey, mate! Don't worry about the streak as long as you continue doing what you love. Streaks are only made for social media tbh. Sometimes these ones are neglecting your recovery and running progress therefore you better have some recovery. Love the vids and keep them coming!

I laughed when you revealed the reason why you stopped your run streak! This was a great video yet again. Thanks for all your great videos.

Always good to hear from you!! You always motivate me (push me 😡) to run daily 🦾 Thanks 🤗

That is life; congrats and wish you the best!

keep it all in perspective, and thx for the content!!!

I got to 1080 days of run streaking, almost 3 years. Preparing for the birth of my second child is what made me stop, she still moved along with me until 37 weeks pregnant, with over 400 miles with a belly it was a good reason to complete the streak 💕
