General Information Only
The content published on The Longer Run, including articles, guides, training advice, and any other material, is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended as, and should not be construed as, professional medical, physiological, or clinical advice.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
Running and exercise carry inherent risks, and those risks change with age, health status, and individual circumstances. Before making any significant changes to your training, diet, or exercise programme, particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition, injury history, or health concern, consult a qualified medical professional, sports medicine practitioner, or accredited coach who can assess your individual situation.
Nothing on this site replaces that professional relationship.
Accuracy of Information
We make every effort to ensure the information published here is accurate, evidence-based, and current at the time of writing. Sports science evolves and recommendations change. We cannot guarantee that all content remains current after its original publication date and accept no liability for decisions made based on information contained on this site.
External Links
The Longer Run occasionally links to external websites, research papers, podcasts, and other resources for reference purposes. We do not control the content of external sites and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, or content.
Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships
Where The Longer Run recommends products or services, we will clearly disclose any commercial relationship or affiliate arrangement. Recommendations are made on merit. We do not accept payment to endorse products we would not use ourselves.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for your own training decisions. The information on this site is a starting point for informed decision-making, not a prescription. Listen to your body, seek professional advice when needed, and apply common sense to everything you read here, including what we write.
