That’s why it’s not launching in China and not the Roman market.
The article references were sourced from a number of formal studies, I've collected some of them in another comment if you'd like to review or add to the list. https://lemmy.world/post/52372548/26040691
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.
Here's a summary of references for the post. You may be interesting in the first two, a sort of meta-analysis and the second one, a podcast interview between two pediatricians on the topic. One concludes "I have more concerns about some of the cross country runners and the volume that they do as opposed to people who are running a marathon... if it's done properly it could be safe."
If there are other useful journal articles on the topic I missed, link them in a comment below. Thanks!

There's also the Tarahumara of Mexico, another culture where running is a normal mode of transportation. Folks may remember the iconic story of some of the Tarahumara running in the Leadville 100-mile mountain race and winning one year... while racing in traditional sandals!
No one is suggesting forcing kids to run extreme distances.
Compared to what "heavyweight" distro at the time?
My guess some of the lower injury rates with endurance training with youth is the emphasis is on volume and not intensity.
In my son's case, he been practicing longer runs for a year before he tried a marathon. The base training did seem give him going to a formal middle school training program later.
Now he's sophomore and has good success in the school running programs without major injuries.
Thank you! I entered a URL into Lemmy and then selected an image, which apparently this replaced the URL... fixed now!
I hope this results in the return of more small independent coffee shops.
I used to love checking out the vibe of local coffee shops when I traveled.
Now it’s hard enough to find ones that haven’t been replaced with a generic Starbucks.
Did Big Lentil put her up to this?
I see what you did there.
