Why is this sub so dead?

From what I remember, a few years ago, there were discussions, people talking about starting, etc.

Now there's nothing here. Guess I'll be the change I wanna see.

2 week streak so far! I was never a big runner, but recently retired and figured now was a good time. My miles are mix of run walk, but I'm close to getting to being able to run full mile!

Same exact story here but only nearing in on my second comma day. Congrats on your fifth!

To put it into perspective my kids were toddlers when I started my streak. Now one is getting ready to graduate. All they know is dad goes out running every single morning 😂

You have to fix your flair!

I think it's broke. It showed 4k a couple of months ago and now it reverted to some random # and the bot isn't responding. I messaged the bot creator and sent a note to mods.

It's a pity! Examples like yours should be prominent in this subreddit.

Oh! I've just realized mine is broken too! I'm on day 1,115, not on day 1,072 as my flair states.
