Editorial policy

Honest Running Journal aims to make running easier to understand without overstating what general information can do. We value accurate wording, visible corrections and a clear distinction between editorial material and paid or partner content.

Accuracy and care

We check factual statements against suitable information available to us and use cautious wording where advice depends on individual circumstances. We do not invent testing, expertise or personal experience. Our content is general information, not medical guidance; readers should seek appropriate professional help for health concerns.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for reader value and clarity. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage, a positive view or control over an editorial conclusion. Where a partner contributes to a piece or placement, that relationship is identified in plain language.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, contact us with the article title and the relevant detail. We review correction requests and update material when warranted; a correction should make the change understandable rather than quietly disguise it.

Paid material and illustrations

Sponsored articles, partner features and paid placements are labelled so readers can distinguish them from independent editorial content. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where that applies, we identify them as such and do not present them as documentary photographs.
