I admit I’ve become a statistic… Again, I am not alone in this, as researchers have found that higher social media usage is often linked to higher rates of depression and anxiety.

For this Coach’s Corner interview, Runstreet founder Marnie Kunz sits down with NYC running coach Iman Smith, also known as @soswanky on Instagram.

Runstreet is excited to partner with EVEN Hotels for a series of quarterly Art Runs from the Even Hotels Midtown East location.

Whether you’re traveling for work or planning a vacation, you can stay on track with your running with these travel tips for runners. Running coach Marnie Kunz gives the breakdown here on our Runstreet YouTube channel.

When I was in college, I used to break up with people when I needed more time to run. It would build up over time and I would get frustrated and stressed with all my school work, and training for track or cross country, and trying to see someone regularly, and, well, let’s just say running and school always came out on top.

For combatting anxiety, there is no simple magic remedy but the great news is running helps a lot!

I want to encourage everyone to stay active, for physical and mental health. Here are my 6 best fitness tips for staying motivated to workout long into the cold winter months, and beyond:

Yet I ran. Very slowly, and less miles than my old self, but still something. And I felt that crippling veil of depression lifting, slowly, steadily, with each step. I’d return from my run and feel stronger, a little more capable of handling life’s challenges.

We are happy to say our Daydream Art Run and Festival was a huge hit in 2018 (check out the recap), and we will be bringing this festival to the beautiful, art-filled streets of Miami and Chicago in 2019, and return for the Daydream Brooklyn for a second year! Check out how you can join and support the Daydream Experience.

If you’re running the NYC Marathon, you are in for the experience of a lifetime. Prepare for the big day with these tips from NYC experts.

If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely go check out the latest mural — by artist JR — at the Bowery Wall in New York City, on Houston and Bowery streets. I’ve been a fan of the French artist JR and his realistic renderings ever since I saw his Immigrants mural in Tribeca.

I’ve dealt with anxiety my whole life, and through the process, found that running and art help ease my mind.

It's been a hot, hot summer with Runstreet Art Runs and our NYC running tours! And we got a chance to pause and celebrate in an art and sweat bonanza in the Lower East Side for Runstreet Beach.

The inaugural Runstreet Daydream 5K Art Run & Festival presented by Clif Bar was a swimming success full of paint, glitter, smiles, tacos and miles. From sparkling unicorns to dogs in fairy costumes to onesie-clad runners, the costumed run waves were a hit! We loved bringing our vision of a day of fantasy, play, color, art, music and running to life, and were lucky to work with so many amazing NYC street artists in the process.

To kick off 2018, Runstreet teamed up with The Yoga Collective NYC for a colorful, interactive Resolution Art Run! Winding through the streets of Lower Manhattan, we hit amazing NYC street art - from the East Village down to First Street Green Art Park. 

Many of my friends who have been running since childhood kept insisting that I give it a try, claiming that it was good for the soul and the ultimate healthy high.

Runstreet was founded on the principles of art, camaraderie, equality and sweat therapy, and we are grateful we got to bring all of these principles to life in 2017. 

Happy holidays from Runstreet! We gathered for a special edition Ugly Sweater Holiday Art Run in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, hosted by McCarren Park Hotel and Pool. And oh what fun it was, with reindeers, ugly (& cute!) sweaters, homemade sweet treats from Forever Plant-Based and more!

My first Art Run in Bushwick was simply amazing because as a NEW YORKER we are always in a rush. Sometimes we forget to stop and take a moment to observe the work done by the creative beings that decorate our city.

My friend Derek joined me, and we both embarked on a journey that was more than a race but also about new beginnings, second chances and long delayed relaxation.
