What we publish (and why)
26weeks.ai publishes training guides, calculators/tools, race directory pages, and research summaries intended to reduce decision fatigue for endurance athletes. Our goal is to make common questions answerable in plain language (for example: pacing, long‑run progression, tapering, fueling practice, or how to choose a plan) while keeping the content usable for real schedules. When we publish “how to” guidance, we prefer checklists, definitions, and answer‑first sections so readers can act without reading a full textbook. We also publish a research hub (Performance Science Lab) focused on what evidence suggests, what it doesn’t, and how to apply it safely.
Sources, evidence, and claims
We aim to cite the best available sources for factual claims, especially when giving numbers, protocols, or safety‑relevant guidance. Priority goes to primary research, consensus statements, reputable textbooks, and official race/organization pages for logistics. When evidence is mixed, we try to say so directly and avoid turning a weak signal into a strong recommendation. We do not promise health outcomes, and we avoid medical diagnosis or treatment advice. If a claim can’t be supported by a source we trust, we either remove it, reframe it as opinion/experience, or clearly label it as uncertain.
Updates, freshness, and corrections
We treat training guidance and race logistics as living content. We update pages when product features change, we find better sources, readers report an error, or a race organizer updates official details. Evergreen guides are reviewed on a rolling basis, and time‑sensitive pages (for example race‑week information) are prioritized closer to relevant dates. If you believe something is wrong or outdated, report it via [email protected] with the URL and what should change; our corrections process is documented at /corrections.
