How To Track Running Shoe Distance

Tracking the distance you have ran in your running shoes is important to assist with avoiding future injuries by replacing your shoes before they have been used to much. Usual recommendations are for 600-1,000 kilometres (400-600 miles). Stick to the lower end of this range if you are a larger, heavier runner, or if you are prone to injuries.
