The Starting Mile aims to make running subjects clear, grounded, and useful without promising outcomes. We distinguish general information from personal recommendations and revise wording when a detail proves unclear or wrong.
Accuracy and care
We check factual statements against appropriate, available references before publication and avoid presenting opinion as settled fact. Articles should explain their limits, especially when a subject depends on individual circumstances. We do not provide personal medical advice or diagnose injuries.
Independence and partnerships
Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any paid, sponsored, or partner material is plainly labelled where it appears, and partner placements are identified as such. A partnership does not guarantee editorial coverage or a favourable assessment.
Corrections
If you spot an error, use the Contact page and identify the article and detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted, making substantive changes clear to readers.
Images and illustrations
Images are chosen to support the subject and not to imply evidence of an event or test. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where relevant, they are identified as illustrations rather than documentary images.
