01 How it worked

5km. Every day.

Run 5km (3.1 miles) or more, log it in the Harry's app, and bank a ticket into Harry's monthly prize draw. One run a day, one ticket a day, for 25 days.

Every run had to be GPS tracked with distance, elapsed time, pace and heart rate showing. Run further and you still got one ticket, but the leaderboard counted every kilometre.

04 The format

What is a daily streak challenge?

A streak challenge asks you to do something every day for a set run of days. The daily target is usually modest. The challenge is turning up again tomorrow, and the day after that.

That's what makes streaks work for building a habit. You stop deciding whether to train, because the only question left is when. Most people find a time of day that sticks, early morning or straight after work, and protect it.

In the Harry's app every day you complete counts on its own, so a missed day costs you that day, not the whole challenge.

Streak
A run of consecutive days where you hit the target.
Daily minimum
The least you have to do for the day to count.
Consistency
Showing up often, the thing streak challenges reward most.
