The four things

show up
on these four.

Not heroic. Not 75 Hard. Just four things you can do most days without your life falling apart.

01
move your body

Once a day. Run, walk, lift, yoga, anything. Ten minutes counts.

02
read 10 pages

Any book. Not a feed. Not an article. A book.

03
alcohol-free

Zero drinks today. The other things get easier when this is true.

04
2 litres of water

No tracking app required. Just drink it. Before coffee, between meals, with food.

How it works

three steps.
that's the whole thing.

Nothing to download. No new app. Sign in and you're in.

01
join the challenge

Free signup, takes 20 seconds. Day 1 starts the moment you tap.

02
tick off as you go

Open the app, tap the four boxes for today. That's the daily ritual. Two seconds.

03
share your grid

A card fills up as you go. Save it, post it to your story, hold yourself accountable in public.

What you get

a clubhouse, not
another tracker.

You're not signing up for a habit app. You're signing up for a place to be a runner. The challenge is the gentle way in.

daily check-ins

Four taps a day. Completion % over 30 days. Forgiving, miss a day, the streak keeps going.

a daily spark

A short note each day. Not motivational poster nonsense. The thing you needed to hear.

a shareable card

Your 30-day grid fills up as you tick. Save it any day. Post to your stories. Tag @boltinben if you like.

a card that fills
with every day you show up.

Day 1: one bolt. Day 14: half the grid lit. Day 30: a full board.

Save it any day. Post it. Skip it. Up to you. The card just makes the showing up visible.

questions worth asking.

is this really free?
Yes. No card required. Sparkies has a paid tier ($4.95/month) for the deeper stuff, full training plans, AI coach, advanced features. The Spark Challenge is free for everyone.
what if i miss a day?
You miss a day. That's it. No reset, no shame spiral. The card shows your real pattern, full days, partial days, missed days. You just pick up tomorrow. The whole point is sustainable, not heroic.
do i have to be a runner?
No. The "move your body" rule includes any movement, walking, yoga, lifting, swimming, anything that counts. Sparkies is built for runners but the challenge works for anyone who wants four small commitments that make them feel like themselves again.
can i start any day?
Yes. Day 1 is the day you sign up. You're not waiting for the next cohort. The 30 days runs from your start date.
what's the catch?
There isn't one. The challenge is the on-ramp. Some people do it, finish, and move on. Some realise they want more structure and join Sparkies properly ($4.95/mo). Both outcomes are fine. The challenge exists because we needed it ourselves.
can i share my progress?
Yes, there's a button to generate a shareable card showing your current day count, your full/partial days, and a grid that fills as you go. Save it to your phone, post it to your story, tag @boltinben if you want a follow back.
