Sam Reid founded SportsFable and edits everything published on it. Sam trains consistently — gym work, running and club-level amateur competition — and writes from a committed amateur's perspective rather than a coach's. The work here is mainly editorial: building training plans from published research, testing gear properly before recommending it, and cutting anything that can't be supported. Sam holds no coaching or strength-and-conditioning certification. Everything in the Training pillar is written as a well-researched starting point, not personalised prescription — if you have an injury or a medical condition, speak to a professional first.
