Runstreet celebrated Global Running Day the best way we know how, with a beautiful Art Run! Thanks to ConBody Bowery studio for hosting an incredible evening of art, sweat, socializing and exploring the colorful Lower East Side!

When I'm coaching and leading Runstreet art runs, I hear women talk about their periods as an obstacle preventing them from running. What many people don't realize is that a run can actually relieve period symptoms. It doesn't have to get in the way of your workout routine!

So far, I've honestly turned every couch potato to a passionate runner.

I never drew realistic photos and didn't think I was good. Until my sister showed me a movie about Basquiat and he came into my life and changed my views on art in general.

With these running tips you can come to survive your treadmill workouts, and maybe even enjoy them... hey, it's better than putting on 50 layers and getting honked at by skidding cars, right?

Alison's latest project is a 240-mile run to empower women everywhere.

On January 18, Alison and a team of women runners will start a 240-mile run from Harlem, New York City to Washington, DC to attend the Million Women March on Washington and raise $44,000 for Planned Parenthood.

I was living in NYC and traveling the world, seeing street art all over the place. I was always inspired by street art, with its unexpected presence and transformation of public space. I also love the inner dialogue that happens between me and the art when I pass by. It's both so personal and public. One day, I couldn't stand how I couldn't feel inspired, so I picked a print of one of my shoe sketches and created wheatpastes and hit the city.

Runstreet founder Marnie Kunz got the opportunity to sit down with Will Sanchez for an interview on his inspiring running show, "Gotta Run with Will."

Runstreet hit the stunning streets of Williamsburg for an inspiring 5K Art Run on Dec. 10, followed by a kick ass circuits workout at OrangeTheory Fitness Williamsburg.

There are many obstacles that prevent poor people and people with mental illness from accessing exercise opportunities. For example, the cost of transportation, the cost of gyms, lack of exercise education and health information, hazardous environments...Then there are the obstacles like uncertainty, intimidation, resistance to change, inconvenience, discomfort and low self-esteem that we all tend to face regardless of mental health or income.

David is an energetic New Jersey runner who heads up race events and running movements, as well as inspires thousands with his super cool IG shots at @run.dmg. I was lucky he slowed down for a few minutes for this interview.

The Light Up the Night Run brought together many runners from across NYC to highlight the need for better lighting in our city's parks.

Runstreet and ConBody held the first ever Prison Break 5K on October 22, 2016, with a 5K race from the Lower East Side of Manhattan across the bridge to Dumbo, Brooklyn, and a final workout with ConBody founder Coss Marte on the ConBody Prison Bus.

It's been a busy fall at Runstreet, with our first year of art runs in full swing and street art runs from Brooklyn to Manhattan to Queens. We've seen incredible new murals and enjoyed lots of miles and smiles together.

"Being a part of Back on My Feet has given me things and shown me things that transcend running. It has provided me with a new appreciation for battling adversity and introduced me to some wonderful people. Aside from that, I think New York is the greatest running city in the world."

My goal I guess is that people get attracted to the work, stop, and get taken away in the moment…away from their smartphone and live in the present.

I've had the opportunity to run 12 miles with someone who has overcome greater odds than I can imagine, but at one point didn't think he could run a mile. A teammate that struggled through a 10-mile race a year ago, carried me through a 16 mile run last week. My sister is running her very first half marathon in January and I get to run beside her. They motivate me.

I feel like running is so much more fun when you have amazing things to look at. Being in California in Santa Monica, I could run up and down the boardwalk with gorgeous scenery as far as I wanted to go. Quickly I realized it was a way to meditate and let loose, de-stress.

I first came across Myth's street art in Bushwick when I stumbled into this amazing super heroine calling for an end to catcalls. Thank you Myth for this interview, and I hope sometimes I'm at least half as heroic as your street art characters:).

Runstreet hit the streets of Brooklyn for the illest Hip Hop Art Run, complete with Biggie murals, ODB art and Brooklyn's finest hip hop tunes.
