Avoid Injury – Rotate your Trainers!

When you are really into your running, injuries are incredibly frustrating as you will be itching to go for a run but you know you have to rest. Injuries are often your body’s way of telling you that you need a new pair of shoes and so here is our guide rotating your shoes to help prevent injury:

You need to start with 2 pairs of running shoes that have less than 250 miles on them. Mark them A and B if you have the same model, and keep a record of the mileage completed on each. If you have Nike + this will be easy!

Keep your newest pair /lowest mileage for longer runs and racing.

Keep the older pair / highest mileage for shorter runs, bad weather and off-road runs.

Keep the older pair for 500 miles – after this it’s time to say goodbye and bring a new pair into rotation.

If you continue this cycle you will be doing your best to avoid injury and the physio! In the long term, it will save you money because your shoes will last longer and there will be no expensive trips to that physio!
