To progress in running without getting injured, consistency is essential, but it must imperatively be accompanied by extreme progressivity in training load, especially for beginners.

This advice aligns perfectly with the fundamental principles of exercise physiology. Research in sports medicine, notably observational studies on runners (e.g., studies by Nielsen et al.), confirms that the most frequent error leading to injury is increasing volume or intensity too quickly (the well-known 'too much, too soon'). The body needs time to adapt its connective tissues, tendons, and bones to the mechanical stress of running, a process that is slower than the adaptation of the cardiovascular system. The idea that running every day requires years of experience is supported by the need to develop high tissue tolerance. It is accurate that consistency is the engine of progress, but it becomes a risk factor if progressivity is ignored. The creator rightly emphasizes that patience is a long-term strategy to avoid interruptions linked to injuries. There is no exaggeration here, but rather a cautious warning consistent with injury prevention recommendations.
