Tip of the Month
Time to change your runners?
Running in old or worn out shoes can lead to an increase in running injuries. Over time running shoes lose stability and shock absorption capacity. When this happens the stress to the feet and legs increases dramatically. Over time this added stress can lead to an overuse injury. A simple prevention strategy includes replacing the running shoes when they wear out. Track your mileage. After 500kms or every six months, whichever comes earlier, it's time for a new pair. To help keep track of how old your shoes are, mark the date of purchase (in indelible ink) inside the tongue of the shoes.
