Survey/Study for Runners Currently Training or Just Starting...

A student assistant at Texas A&M University Kingsville is helping his professor conduct a study on runners of any experience level as they train for a run of any distance - 1 mile all the way up to an ultra. Runners need to be within the first 25% of their training program for their intended event, over the age of 18 and provide a valid email address.

The study is a series of four surveys: 1) at the beginning of training, 2) half-way through training, 3) at three-fourths through training and 4) finally post-event. Each survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.
