Yeah, it was to help others avoid injury. I really do think that the biggest factor is taking easy days as well as easy weeks. >"They're ill served by your willingness to hold forth without benefit of relevant experience or familiarity with the actual science of the matter." This is really rude and makes more uncharitable assumptions. The fact is I have helped a lot of friends and family members of various ages and sizes get into running without injury, and to go through marathon programs in some cases. While I've read more books and journals on running than most people ever will, I don't think trading links to them with angry people on the internet is productive. Have a good day. tldr; Take easy days. Take easy weeks. Listen to your body.
