I am a firm believer in getting off one’s butt and running. For me it isn’t about the speed or the distance necessarily, it’s just getting dressed and going out to run.

I had to buy some new clothing and get rid of 90% of what I had due to fit issues meaning my clothes were either too big or because of my new runners body the fit was not right, making the clothes look like they were loose in some places & tight in others. Still learning how to dress the ever emerging new body I have but it’s fun!

Why should you replace your running shoes?

Many of us fitblrs are runners so I thought it would be helpful to post about this. Running in worn out shoes can lead to injuries due to a loss of shock absorption, cushioning, and stability. This increases stress and impact on your joints and legs, causing injury. 

When should you replace your running shoes?

A general rule to replacing running shoes is to replace them after 300-400 miles. This distance can vary due to running style and surface and body weight. 

You can also tell when to replace them based off of the midsole. When the midsole shows major signs of wear or causes you to feel muscle fatigue, shin splints, or join pain, your shoes may need to be replaced. Those are signs that your shoes no longer have adequate cushioning.

How to make your shoes last longer.

Halfway through the life of your running shoes it is a good idea to buy a new pair of shoes and rotate them on your runs. 

Your shoes will last longer when you allow them to decompress and dry out between workouts. Also, having a fresh pair of shoes as a reference will help you notice when your old ones are ready to be replaced.

Wear your running shoes only for your exercise to help prevent the cushioning from wearing out.

Put your shoes on and off properly.

Dry your wet shoes properly (air dry them, away from direct heat).

Store your shoes in a cool, dry area. 

Don’t put your running shoes in the washing machine.
