Subject: Do I have enough time to buy new shoes?
|
I am planning on runing the Miami Half marathon on Jan 28th. I have
been running since November and have been using my old cross trainers.
I am up to 4.5 miles 3 times a week with a long run on Sunday. On this
mornings run I noticed for the first time my feet started feeling sore.
I am worried that if I go out and buy a new pair of shoes now, will
they be worn in in time for the run at the end of January. This will be
my first race and any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Alas, lister Tim Downie (another Scottish M.D.) has made it out here before
you. You will have to work extra hard to regain your favor.
Roger.
Wondered where you wandered off to. Getting your 4th Ph. D. in France or
some such thing?

L. A., of course.

It's an open secret that I, too, love the bay area. My favo(u)rite places
in San Francisco area are in Marin (Mt Tam, Miwok, Dipsea trail, etc). If
you've been keeping up on your reading, you'll see that I had a great snow
run above LA on Sunday. Do let us know if you swing by LA, and a guided
tour of cool places may be available if you're one of the first 3 callers...
Best Wishes,
Dan

I usually put 30-40 miles on a pair of shoes before racing in them.
Once I raced a 50 miler in a brand new pair, but i put the insoles from the
old shoes in them, and they worked like a charm, no blisters.

you don't need to "wear them in". Go get some running shoes. Go to a proper runnig
store to make sure they get you fitted with somethign appropriate.

As long as they fit you should be fine, my feet feel better almost
immediately when I put on new shoes. Breaking them in for me usually
only takes a week or two. Even if they aren't all the way broken in,
they are still going to be way better for you if your shoes are already
hurting your foot. You should definitely go invest in them. You can
really hurt yourself with bad shoes, and it's just not worth it.

Get some Asics, one of the models with
"Biomorphic fit," and you will have them
broken in within a week.

I would be worried that if you don't buy real running shoes you may not
be able to run the race at all. You will have plenty of time to get used
to them and if you get fitted for them at a running shop you shouldn't
have any problems right out of the box - not that you should run a half
marathon with new shoes, but that at your distance now you should be fine.

I could easily wear a pair of shoes out by Jan 28th, but yours will be
nicely broken in. Even when a pair feels good out of the box on the
first run, several runs later an appliqu=E9 rub or tight spot can turn
up. Sometimes I cut the shoe. Other times I lace differently or tape my
feet. There are times when the shoe causes leg or foot pain. You really
need more than one pair of shoes for regular running. If you are
committed to the long term, all the shoes will get used up eventually.

That would give you more than sixty miles in the shoes, which should be
plenty to ascertain whether they'll work for you on race day. If
you're particularly concerned about wearing them down a bit, you could
walk in them, too.

Asics are the best. I brought some Adidas after some advice at a
specialist store and they have given me nothing but trouble ever since.
I wish that I had not traded in my Asics.
I know what I am definately buying next time............

I'd definately buy new shoes. You might get a few extra runs in over
the Christmas hols. I've always found my New Balance shoes to be
instantly comfortable and they have never needed 'running in'.
