What is RunBet and how does it work?

RunBet is basically an app based game (free app) that encourages you to 🌜 run (or walk) consistently. Each game has it’s own rules on how many runs per week are required and for 🌜 how long (ie. 30 min). You can choose a game that fits your current lifestyle or fitness level. Games start 🌜 each week and vary in length from four to six to 8 weeks.

My game required 4 runs per week with 🌜 a 30 minute or more duration at under an 18 minute per mile pace for 4 weeks. Because I normally 🌜 run 3 days per week, I would be walking the 4th run. As long as my walk was under an 🌜 18 minute mile it would count.

What’s the bet part?

At the start of each game, each player has to “bet” a 🌜 set amount of money on themselves to play. My game had aR$30 bet. As long as you complete the required 🌜 number of runs per week, you get all of your money back. Simple as that! If someone else in your 🌜 game drops out, their original fee is split between the remaining players. Getting outside daily for a run or a 🌜 walk has been key to my mental health lately. Runbet motivates me to do just that.
