Balega Ambassador Glynis Buchan has been on a running streak since New Year's Eve 2017. At the time of our recording, she'd been running for 1177 days and she'd recently overtaken Forrest Gump's run streak. Glynis's running journey began in her living room on the Nintendo Wii Fit, after having her son. Running was always just a way to stay fit and healthy - it was only after she completed her first 5K race that she really started to fall in love with running.
Her run streak happened quite by chance after she signed up for RED January back in 2018. After completing the month, Glynis decided to carry on to see how long she could keep up her streak and since then, she's managed to lace up every single day - whether that's for an easy recovery run or a longer Sunday run.
In this podcast, Glynis talks about her running journey, how she accidentally ended up on a run streak and what it was like running the UltraX 12 Hour ultra race.
