I don’t have a problem if you wish to inquire about whether there are people out there that ran each and every single day—it is a legitimate question. But calling it “purist” suggests an elevated status, and further it implies that the other achievements are somehow less worthy, that is, impure. Though also somewhat inaccurate, perhaps something “literal” is better.
But let’s be honest, is a more or less healthy person running every single day for 100 days more impressive than someone coming off, for example, an injury getting in, say, 50 runs?...or someone knocking out 150?...or someone running 1000 miles?
My aim is not to criticize your accomplishment — for I am in awe of your mileage — but rather to draw attention to the sheer breadth of what the term connotes for different people.
I’m not asking you to agree with me, but I also don’t want to be placed on one side of an imaginary dividing line.
Good luck to everyone & let’s all finish the challenge stronger and healthy!
Ciao
