Terms

These terms cover your use of Slow Miles (slowmiles.run). By using the site, you agree to them. They sit alongside our privacy page, which explains how we handle your data.

Using Slow Miles

Slow Miles is free. You sign in with a Google account, and you are responsible for what happens on your account. If you are under 18, please get a parent or guardian's OK first. We may suspend accounts that misuse the site or try to cheat the challenges.

Training plans are guidance, not medical advice

Our plans, paces and coach emails are general guidance worked out from the numbers you give us. They do not know your health or injury history. Check with a doctor before starting a new training programme, especially if you have a medical condition or are new to running. Listen to your body, and stop if something hurts. You run at your own risk.

Races and news

We work hard to keep race dates, entry details and news accurate, but things change. Always check with the race organiser before you enter, travel or pay.

Challenges and prizes

Weekly challenges are free to enter. Winners are drawn at random from members who finish the challenge, using runs synced from Strava. Prizes cannot be swapped for cash. We may change or cancel a challenge, and we may disqualify activities that are clearly not genuine runs.

Strava

Connecting Strava is optional. Slow Miles is not run by or affiliated with Strava, and your use of Strava is covered by Strava's own terms.

Our content

The articles, guides, plans and design on Slow Miles are ours. Share links as much as you like, but please do not copy our content wholesale. Links to other websites are there to help, and we are not responsible for what is on them.

Limits on our responsibility

Slow Miles is provided as it is. We do our best to keep it running and accurate, but we cannot promise it will always be available or error-free. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for injuries, losses or costs that come from using the site. Nothing here takes away rights you have under South African law, including the Consumer Protection Act.

Ending things

You can stop using Slow Miles and ask us to delete your account at any time from Settings. We may change or stop parts of the site, and if we ever close it, we will let you know first.

Changes and contact

If we change these terms, we will update this page and the date at the top. These terms are governed by South African law. Questions? Email support@slowmiles.run.
