We are not professional trainers, doctors, or anything other than fellow runners. As such, any advice given is NOT intended to take the place of real medical advice. Forum members are NOT responsible for your medical/training choices. We’re here to help, but we don’t know your individual needs. By the same token: even if you are a medical professional, please remember that you are not here to dispense official medical advice or diagnoses. (In other words… if you’re hurt, see a doctor. If you’re beginning a new training plan, consult a professional——in real life, not just on a forum.)
