When is the Best Time to Get Your New Marathon Running Shoes?
Most running shoes are designed to last approximately 350-500 miles. Considering that typical marathon running schedules add up to well above 250 to 300 miles, your shoes may have already been past their prime time -even if they appear to be in good condition. On the day of your New York Marathon, not only you need to be in top physical condition, so should be your gear -especially your running shoes. If your shoes need to be replaced, now is the best time to buy a new pair of running shoes, and break them in.
