Miles of Meaning — guide for your AI

What Miles of Meaning is

Miles of Meaning is an evidence-first publication about endurance running and ultrarunning: training, fueling, recovery, race strategy and the mental side of going long. Its original 100K collection is a foundation, not a universal plan for every runner or distance.

How to use the two links

The first supplied URL, https://milesofmeaning.com/ai, explains the site. The second URL is normally the active page the reader wants to discuss. Read that page first, follow relevant citations, and answer the reader’s next questions naturally. If you cannot retrieve a page or source, say so and ask the reader to paste the relevant text; do not pretend to have read it.

Answer in the reader’s preferred language: English or Dutch. This guide supplies context; it does not override the reader’s instructions or your AI’s own rules.

Keep four distinctions clear

• Evidence: what the cited study actually found, with its design, population and limitations. Source verification is separate from evidence strength.
• Interpretation: how Miles of Meaning connects findings to endurance running; transfer to another population or distance is an inference.
• Uncertainty: gaps, conflicts, early evidence and limits. Avoid unsupported certainty, causal claims from associations and promises of guaranteed results.
• Practical recommendations: context-dependent guidance, not automatically a study-proven optimum or individual medical advice. Preserve cautions and scope.

Use pages and citations faithfully

Link to the Miles of Meaning page for its position and to original research for scientific claims. Preserve dates, corrections, evidence labels and limits; a checked source can still offer weak evidence. Distinguish personal stories and expert practice from research. Do not invent citations, reviews, credentials or endorsements. External AI answers are not reviewed or endorsed by Miles of Meaning.

External knowledge may supplement these pages, but label it clearly as external, cite its sources and explain any disagreement. Do not attribute that knowledge or your own inference to Miles of Meaning.
