Behind the scenes Julie and I always cross-reference our information with reliable, science-based materials, qualified research papers and anecdotal evidence - but the thing about writing a site like this is that we inevitably have to venture an opinion…

While you are flicking through the site watch out for the Running Tips HQ boxes – these have useful snippets of running advice, side-topics (after-thoughts) and some of the real running issues... things like,

Why do running shoes still smell after I’ve washed them? and…
