Many of the articles on the net claimed that you should change your running shoes every 500miles, that is 800km in metric.
but I find that I need to change every 500km or so before I feel the midsole giving way.
maybe the discrepancies could be due to the running surface.
the Bay Run is a great run but the concrete pavement is hard on the knees. After 5km in esplanade Park, my shin felt real sore and my knees were starting to protest.
I started running a lot more on the grass and it was much better. But after 10km or 2 laps, I gave up. It was just no fun,
for all of you who do the Bay run regularly, please take care of your knee and try to get more supportive shoes.
and change your shoes regularly. it is money better spent on new shoes then on visits to the doctors or physio.
