Guides

Practical decision guides for runners who want clearer next steps, not generic rules.

Rungevity guides are being built to help sore, uncertain, beginner, and returning runners make better decisions about when to progress, repeat, reduce, rest, or seek review.

The Sore Runner Decision Guide

How to decide whether to progress, repeat, reduce, rest, or seek review after a painful run.

What it will cover

  • Pain during and after running
  • What next-morning stiffness can tell you
  • Green, amber, and red signs
  • Progress, progress with caution, repeat, reduce, rest, or seek review
  • What to do after a flare-up
  • Missed sessions and interrupted training
  • Example runner scenarios
  • A simple 4-week reset plan
