For all you Babes on the Run babes, to prevent injury remember to rotate those tires. After 350-550 miles it's time for a new pair of shoes. If you log 25 miles per week replace your shoes every three to four months. You can check for signs of wear on the sole by placing your old shoes on a table and looking at them from behind. If the soles are worn and leaning to one side, the midsole cushioning is probably worn as well.
Running in old or worn-out shoes is one of the most common causes of running injuries. Your running shoes lose shock absorption, cushioning and stability over time. Continuing to run in worn-out running shoes increases the stress and impact on your legs and joints, which can lead to overuse injuries. The easiest thing you can do to prevent those types of injuries is replace your running shoes when they're worn-out.
If you've been feeling muscle fatigue, shin splints, or some pain in your joints -- especially your knees -- you may be wearing running shoes that no longer have adequate cushioning. Which means its time to get some new PUMPED UP KICKS!!
Happy Wednesday!!
