This survey was developed by members of a Pittsburgh research group to better understand the relationship between long distance runners and their doctors. Please answer the questions to the best of your knowledge. If you recently ran a half or full marathon and have no plans to run either a half marathon or full marathon in the next 6 months, answer based on your most recent half or full marathon only. We realize that it is possible that some will receive this survey more than once. If you received multiple copies of this survey, please only answer one time.

Please note that this survey is anonymous, answers cannot be traced back to the individual answering the questions and the information collected will only be used for research purposes.

We appreciate your participation in this survey and thank you for your time!
