Editorial Policy

Every article is designed to make a runner’s next decision clearer. We separate published evidence, brand claims, external testing, and editorial interpretation.

Source standards

Training and recovery pieces prioritize peer-reviewed research, systematic reviews, consensus statements, and recognized sports organizations. Health-adjacent pieces prioritize clinical practice guidelines and public-health or hospital sources. Gear analysis begins with the manufacturer’s current specifications and labels independent tests separately.

Use of AI

AI tools may assist with translation from Chinese source material, structural rewriting, copy editing, link checks, metadata checks, and visual generation. They do not remove editorial responsibility. Claims, citations, units, disclosures, and safety language are reviewed before publication.

Articles are restructured for American readers rather than translated sentence by sentence. Original Chinese source files remain unchanged and are tracked internally through a source ID.

Authorship

Miles Rowan is an editorial pen name. It represents the publication’s consistent voice, not a claim of medical, dietetic, physical-therapy, or certified coaching credentials.

Medical and injury content

We do not diagnose readers or promise treatment outcomes. Injury-proofing guides include reasons to stop running, red flags, and circumstances that warrant professional care. They are educational and never replace an individual assessment.

Gear evidence labels

Data-Based Buying Analysis uses specifications, independent laboratory data, and clearly attributed external wear tests. Hands-On Review is used only when the author has direct, documented testing experience. At launch, all gear pieces are data-based analyses.

Corrections

Material corrections update the article date and the affected language. If a claim cannot be verified, it is removed. Readers may use the contact page to flag a concern.

Commercial independence

Advertising is disabled at launch. Future advertising will not determine editorial conclusions, and paid relationships or affiliate links will be disclosed beside the relevant content.
