Should kids run marathons? (limestonepost.org)

With a child of my own interested in running a marathon, I researched marathon training programs for youth in the US (there are some!), injury rates and how these compare to high school running programs.

Are you a bot? The references deal with acute injury like I said in my reply. Keep your AI slop answers out of discussions.

    lol, no bot. That's my list of references I gathered for the article. The publisher trimmed the section out of the final publication. I'll renew my invitation to share other journal articles you've found on the topic.

    Sorry Jesus. I'll take the snark down a dozen notches. Jack Daniels has a lot of stuff about optimal training for youth - he did a lot of high school development work but he was performance focused rather than injury focused. I'll take a look in the book case and see what I can find. Tim Noakes is always a good starting point (although he is very out of fashion these days).

    Full disclosure: this is not my area of expertise. I was an organ physiologist who was serious about running for many years. So I was sort of professionally adjacent to these guys and paid attention to the literature, but I am not a subject expert.
