Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of an RRI prevention program (i.e., RunIn3).
There will be recruited 530 runners of the state of São Paulo aged 18 years or older. After inclusion, participants will be randomly assigned and allocated in two groups: (1) intervention group, which will be the target of the implementation of the RunIn3 prevention program; and (2) control group, which will receive a minimal intervention (i.e., feedback based on surveillance).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Monitoring and suggestion of training progress. Behaviour change strategy based on increasing knowledge.
RunIn3 Prevention Program
The intervention will be delivered online. Every two weeks we will send a link to participants that will direct them to an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will collect information on complaints and symptoms related to running, and the volume, intensity and frequency of running practice within the 2-week period. If the participant reports any symptom and if she/he accepts a suggestion regarding running training, an algorithm embedded in the online system will automatically suggest a training volume for the next two weeks based on the distance and/or duration reported by the participant.
Through a website we will make available informative texts, videos and infographics in order to increase the participant's knowledge regarding topics such as: musculoskeletal symptoms; foot strike patterns; training workload; running shoes; warming-up/cooling-down, stretching; and concomitant strength training.
Control
Monitoring and suggestion of training progress.
Feedback Based Surveillance
The intervention will be delivered online. Every two weeks we will send a link to participants that will direct them to an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will collect information on complaints and symptoms related to running, and the volume, intensity and frequency of running practice within the 2-week period. If the participant reports any symptom and if she/he accepts a suggestion regarding running training, an algorithm embedded in the online system will automatically suggest a training volume for the next two weeks based on the distance and/or duration reported by the participant.
