Time for new shoes
I suffered really badly today and I think it could be time for new shoes.
I've been getting shin splints really badly lately and I did a quick summary of the running to date in my current shoes and I have done about 300 miles - it's recommended you change shoes every 350 miles but this can vary depending on the intensity of running. In my case I have been running outdoors on hard concrete, this coupled with my excess girth means the shoes are quite likely done in.
I was meant to do 9 miles today and after 2 miles I was almost limping with the pain. I had to abandon the run for fear of causing damage and have agreed to go out and get a new pair of running shoes tomorrow. I didn't really fancy getting new shoes so close to the big day in case they blister me or aren't suitable but it's obvious I wont make it wearing the current shoes.
