#164: Successful Streaks for Daily Running and Reading (The Bible)

Run The Race

To streak or not to streak? I’m talking about running every day…and the same for reading the Bible, on this shorter episode of the “Run The Race” podcast. My run streak right now is at 400+ days, with a previous best of 750+ (more than 2 years). I’ve read through all of God’s Word before, but just trying the daily streak, at 3 weeks now. (3:35) First, I’ve got a quick recap of what it was like at my first AJC Peachtree Road Race, the largest 10K in the world, alongside tens of thousands of other runners in Atlanta. (5:15) Why run every day and should you do it? The current male and female records are staggering. I give you 6 steps of how to do a run streak, plus who should not be trying to run every day. There are pros and cons to streaking…from motivation and mindset and community…to stress and injuries. (14:15) You can also get discouraged or intimidated when trying to read the Bible regularly. How can you make reading God’s Word daily a habit? I’ve got 6 steps for that too, that includes picking a time, plan, accountability partner. I also talk about the benefits of reading scripture every day, as spiritual nourishment like food. (22:41) And I close this one in prayer.
