good runs

Productive scoring periods

Good runs describes a string of fortunate outcomes or successful performances over time.

A gambler on a good run keeps winning; an athlete on one performs consistently well.

The phrase acknowledges that success often clusters: She's had some good runs at the blackjack table.

In running or exercise contexts, it can simply mean satisfying workouts: I've been having some good runs lately.
