Fancy helping with some running research? 🏃
Ellie Richardson, an MSc student at the University of Edinburgh and a runner with Bury Athletics Club, is looking for recreational runners aged 18-30 who run at least 10km per week to complete a short, anonymous survey (ethics approved) about how we interpret and respond to discomfort during training (muscle soreness, tightness, heaviness - the normal training stuff, not injuries).
Once the study wraps up, the findings could help you better understand your own responses to discomfort, including how to recognise when it's safe to push through versus when to ease off; offering practical ways to stay motivated and keep enjoying running for the long haul.

Thank you; every response genuinely helps!
