dc.description.abstractBackground: Running as a form of physical activity is beneficial to overall health and wellbeing. The aim of the study is to examine ‘run streaking’ (i.e. running on consecutive days, for a minimum period of time or distance, typically at least one mile) as a technique for habit formation and behaviour change. Methods: Qualitative semi-structured interviews with 21 recreational adult runners (11 female and 10 male). Run streak length ranged from a minimum of 100 days to over 4,500 days. Transcripts were analysed using a hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis. Results: Run streaking was reported to lead to several benefits, health improvements, and a sense of accomplishment, although many run streakers reported running through injuries and lack of recovery. Accounts of run streaking showed features of automaticity indicative of habitual behaviour. Other behavioural processes identified included motivation, identity, self-regulation, and social support. Behavioural streaking has the potential to influence change in behaviours other than running. Conclusion: Accounts of run streaking demonstrate an interplay between automatic and deliberate processes in the maintenance of running behaviour. Behavioural streaking has the potential to be used in other behaviour change contexts beyond running.en_UK
