Is it the Nike out of this world cushioning or is it because of a bigger base and a year more of training and more clever training? Hearing a Parry podcast advising a guy to change his Saucony Triumph's that is on 830km's now and he is doubting it, makes me wonder. Obviously there it differs for each runner and different shoes, but surely that cannot be the max you get out of shoes? Actually I have a pair of Saucony Triumph as well and they are currently on 1282 and not done by a long shot I it is up to me. My oldest Brooks Ghosts are as follows: 9's - 1,860 (up to marathons) 9's - 1,287 (all the marathons, ultras, oceans and comrades) 10's - 985 (all the marathons, ultras, oceans and comrades) The rest is still new. None of these pairs are at a point where I recon they should be retired, in fact that first pair are heading towards 2,000. You can clearly feel the difference though between a shoe that has done just shorter stuff and the ones that did comrades for example in my case. These ones are definately more banged up, but even they seem to be heading towards 1,500. Am I taking things to far or how do you know when to change them?
