This might come as a surprise for a lot of chubby people out there, but runstreaking is actually a hobby, which involves no nudity, but a genuine commitment to running every single day without fail, even if you are injured, tired or drunk.

The US-based Streak Runners International set up the one and only rule of streak running, Stuff.co.nz reported.

The rule is that you must run non-stop for at least one mile (1.6km), each day, "under one's own body power (without the utilisation of any type of health or mechanical aid other than prosthetic devices)", without crutches, canes, banisters, or in swimming pools.

The world record of runstreaking stands at 45 years.
