I am not referring to KKB's habit of disrobing for a run. I am not commenting on the natural "free" running of the Yanomamo tribe. I am not commenting on the Mifflin Mile (RIP). And I am not even commenting on my 5.6-year streak of at least one mile daily.
Ken Cooper has kept alive his streak of a 5:00 mile every year since he was 15 (I think). Anyway, that's 34 years straight for the effort. Turns out that he is 3rd on the active list and the only one of the 3 to have completed his in 2020. Congrats Ken!
Earlier this year I hit my 34th straight year. Looking to catch Steve Spence, who's steak is the longest and ended last year at 43 years. Below is the list.

Anyone that was on University Park CAMPUS during the full CAMPUS STREAK in 1972-1973 knows what it means to STREAK; Started at Intramural B-BALL games in North Halls.
