Every streak format defines what a day is. Ours does too.
how other counts are kept
Streak Runners International and the US Running Streak Association certify streaks on one rule: at least one mile of running on every calendar day, registered with them.
source75 Hard, the template for the fixed-task challenge format, sends you back to day 1 on any miss. We chose the opposite rule: the miss goes in the report and the count continues.

what actually ends streaks
The streak rarely ends on a hard day
- One interruption erases the whole numberA count is brittle by design. The day after it breaks there is no number left to protect, and that is the day most people stop entirely.
- The counter was the only witnessA private number in an app is easy to abandon quietly. Nothing changes in the outside world on the day it stops.
- Every day daily is a young runner's gamePeople who ran hard every day describe the same arc — steady decline and soreness after a few months. A count that cannot absorb an easy day eventually forces the choice between the number and the running.

Rebuilding trust in the count. Most of the work is writing easy days on purpose instead of by accident.

The first genuine obstacle — travel, illness, a wrecked week. You report it and the hundred days continue.
A hundred reported days, and a habit that no longer collapses the moment a day goes wrong.
Three tasks each morning. One report each night. A hundred days of running.

Reasonable questions
Is this a real run streak?
It is a hundred-day reporting streak. Whether you run every calendar day is your decision — a written rest day counts as a reported day.
Do I go back to day 1 if I miss?
No. That rule belongs to 75 Hard and we deliberately did not copy it. A miss is a line in your report.
Does it sync with Strava or Garmin?
No. The report is written by you, in words. Your watch keeps the data, we keep the record of whether you showed up.
Can I register the streak with Streak Runners International as well?
That is between you and them, and their rules are stricter than ours. We are not affiliated with any streak registry.
What happens on day 101?
You have a hundred logs and a count that has already survived a bad week. Plenty of people start a second hundred with a different focus.
