7. When To Replace Your Shoes
Long-distance runners often use the same pair of shoes for too long. Excessive running can break down your shoes quickly and increase the shock of every step. Consider replacing your shoes every 350 to 500 miles of running. This will help lessen the impact on your legs and keep you comfortable as you increase your mileage or your mile time.
Be sure to invest in quality shoes designed for your type of exercise. Shoes designed for a basketball court do not provide the same support and comfort when running long distances, and running shoes may not be suitable for sprinting and short-distance workouts.
