One of the great things about running is that it is a very “pure” sport. Unlike cycling, it’s not a sport where you can buy yourself seconds or minutes by upgrading your wheels, or purchasing more aerodynamic helmets or bikes. To compete, all you really need are a pair of running shoes! However, every now and then we put enough miles on our shoes and have to drag ourselves to the store to get a new pair. Even though my shoes have only 150 miles on them (I’ve read that you should get new shoes after 300-400 miles on average), I’ve had them for over 4 years, and have been experiencing some shin splints. Since I’m really getting back on track with running, I figured a new pair of shoes might be in order.
