CONDITIONS
Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using davidbrisbourne.com (the "Website") operated by davidbrisbourne.com ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this Website.
About This Website
davidbrisbourne.com is operated by David Brisbourne, an individual based in the United Kingdom.
davidbrisbourne.com is a personal blog documenting one individual's running journey — from the very beginning through to marathon distance. All content is written from personal experience and shared for informational and inspirational purposes only.
This is not a coaching website, a training platform, or a professional fitness resource. You will not find structured training plans or advice intended for you to follow. What you will find is one person's honest account of learning to run.
Personal Content — Not Advice
Everything published on this Website — including training diary entries, race reports, gear write-ups, and general reflections — represents personal experience and opinion only.
Nothing on this Website should be taken as:
- Running, athletic, or fitness advice directed at you
- Medical or physiotherapy guidance
- A recommendation to attempt any specific distance, pace, or training approach
- A substitute for professional medical or coaching advice
Running carries inherent physical risks. Before taking up running or significantly changing your activity levels, consult a qualified medical professional. What worked or did not work for us may not be appropriate for you, your fitness level, or your health circumstances.
By reading this Website you acknowledge that all content is personal experience shared in good faith, not professional guidance, and that any decisions you make about your own physical activity are entirely your own responsibility.
Donations and Charitable Giving
This Website contains a link to a JustGiving fundraising page supporting Tourettes Action, a registered UK charity.
We do not collect, process, handle, or store any donation payments or donor data. All payment processing is carried out exclusively by JustGiving (justgiving.com). Your donation, payment details, and any personal information you submit are governed entirely by JustGiving's own Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, available at justgiving.com.
By making a donation via JustGiving, you enter into a direct agreement with JustGiving and Tourettes Action. We are not a party to that transaction and accept no liability in connection with it.
We make no representations regarding the processing or allocation of donated funds by JustGiving or Tourettes Action. For queries about a donation, contact JustGiving directly at support.justgiving.com.
