This page describes how Plur Fitness is made. It is here so that you can decide how much weight to give anything else on the site.
Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.
Leo Strand, Founder and fitness writer. Leo spent his twenties as a distance runner and his thirties rebuilding after a knee injury. He started this site because most fitness writing assumes you are already fit and already motivated, and he found that assumption annoying enough to do something about it.
Dana Kurtz, Nutrition and recovery writer. Dana spent years treating food as a performance variable before realising that most people need basic eating right before they need optimisation. She writes for people who want to eat well for training without turning every meal into a calculation.
Mia Wolff, Mindset and beginner writer. Mia started training at thirty-two after a decade of stopping and starting. She writes for people who feel like they are already behind, because she has been that person and found that most advice was not written for them.
A few of the links here make us money. That covers the running costs and stops well short of buying a kinder paragraph around them.
Nobody has ever bought the removal of a fair criticism here, and the ones who try mostly hand us the material for the next article.
The list of what to cover writes itself from the inbox and from our own dead ends. When the same gap turns up a second or third time, it stops being a note and becomes an article.
The date on an article is the date it was published. When a change alters the advice, we update the modified date and say what changed. Cosmetic edits do not reset the date, because pretending a page is fresher than it is helps nobody.
Corrections go to info@plurfitness.com. Include the address and the sentence. Anything factual is fixed without argument. Anything that changes what the article recommends gets a dated note underneath, so the change is visible.
