How often do you need to change your running shoes when you are training for a marathon?

I have been running since August to train for the london marathon. Started to get slightly sore shins (may be down to increasing my training).

SOON, or they will not have been broken in enough for the run.


and good luck with the run.

Reply:probably your increase in training. always change your trainers as soon as the spring starts to go out of them, as road running is much harder in the joints etc, than grass or track. i run six miles five days a week and a pair of nike air max last about a year. make sure you don't buy a new pair for the race itself. wear a pair of old faithful broken in ones
Reply:The medical advise on this is every 500 miles for serious runners like yourself. You might want to consider wearing long (below knee) socks with good wicking, arch, calf and shin support properties too.
Reply:Your running shoes should be changed on average every 500 miles. You may get more benefit from your shoes if you go to a special running shop that has a treadmill and video camera to record your gait. Thus enabling you to buy the correct shoes to combat your shins.

Reply:every 350 - 500 miles
Reply:What is the state of your shoes, if they are worn or smoothed down then you should replace them, best to go to a specialist running/jogging shop and speak to a professional, I try runners need in Camden, London, they watch you run and decide the best shoes for you.
Reply:About every 450-500 miles you should replace them.
