Tip 2 by Louie_Miller

To remain injure free over time you will also need to replace your marathon training shoes at regular intervals as the protective cushioning and support will deteriorate over time.

The best way to do this is to keep a log of how many miles you have covered in your new trainers.  The aim is to replace your trainers approximately every 300-500 miles to make sure the cushioning and support does not deteriorate too much and so that you remain injurey free.

If you have bought a new pair of trainers you should relize that it will take around 50 miles for you to break in your trainers.  During this time you should avoid doing longer sessions in order to avoid the painful effects of blistering.  It is better to do your longer sessions in your ordinary trainers and to break in your new trainers on your shorter sessions for the firs 50 milses.

I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it.  Whether you're a musician, writer, athelete or businessman there is no getting around it.  If you do you'll win--if you don't you won't.
