Why it works

The imperfect covers “used to” and “would” (repeated in the past).

Markers: todos los días, siempre, cada semana, normalmente.

No single event is meant — it is a routine.

Why not fui

todos los días fui

every day I went

Counts the days as one finished run. Iba is what you used to do, with no end in view.
