Over the past 2 months I've put over 350 miles on my several-year-old running shoes. How do I know if they're wearing out? (My feet ache more lately)

blah 5K on the Treadmill 3.2 mi 00:40 12:20 pace
This run sucked the whole time, but maybe it will make next time seem that much better. :)

RUN
great Treadmill 1 mi 00:09:18 09:18 pace
The fastest I've every ran. Wanted to see if I could do it, and I did! (Still need to work, as this mile about killed me, but yay me!)

Last night I tried to do intervals of jogging/running instead of walking/running. I realized my 5MPH jogging speed was what I considered "running" a month ago. It's taking a long tim... read more

I can still remember when I first started running about 8 months ago. I commute by bike on the average of about 20 to 30 miles a day. Running will be easy, right? Uh, wrong.

I hear you, Shawn. I'm thrilled when I run 3 miles. I did 4.8 the other night but that was a complete fluke. That's the longest distance ever for me.

blah Treadmill 1.5 mi 00:22 14:39 pace
really sick today, but ran a quarter mile straight at 8mph, slowly increasing my running versus walking time

RUN
good Treadmill 4.36 mi 01:00 13:45 pace
A month later, and I'm still having fun. Knee problems not as bad as before, and although it's slow, I think I'm getting better. :)

Doc says I have "runner's knee", which makes sense, but sucks. I guess strengthening will help. :)

Weird knee stuff going on, not pain, but feels like it needs to pop or something. Can't see doc till next week, might have to stick to walking for a while. :(

Do you land on your heels or the balls of your feet?

Thanks Erich -- I really appreciate it. I'll try ice if it happens again today. I had a doctor appointment (pneumonia recheck) anyway, so on Wednesday I'll ask the doc to look at it as well.

I gotta say, looking at everyone else's pace/distance/speeds can be a bit daunting. I need to find some old fat guys to post with. ;) (only teasing, you're all great, lol)

RUN
alright Treadmill 2.4 mi 00:30 12:30 pace
Switched my intervals from 2min running/3min walking to 3min running/2min walking. Holy cat biscuits was that a challenge, but I did it! REALLY tired, but don't regret the challenge.

The feet aching thing could be for a couple different reasons, but in general, if you feel that the change in shape of the shoe is contorting your feet in strange ways, it may be time. It's much less of an issue the less of a shoe you wear. That is, if you depend on a stability or a motion control shoe, wearing out is a bigger issue than if you wear a minimalist shoe.
My question would be, where do your fee hurt and, yes, I know they hurt at the end of your legs, just before the ground. :)

I would be looking into a new shoe. If your shoes are loose, you may be compensating to hold them in place like you do with flip-flop.
About the foot pain, I battled ankle and foot pain for a long time until I took steps to strengthen my feet and ankles by running short distances barefoot and on grass. Football fields are great for this. It was a lot of fun to feel the grass between my toes too. I would just do it for therapeutic reason and not necc. to become a barefoot runner, tho. My 2 cents.

The rule of thumb on shoes is to retire them at 400 miles. But, you can look at the soles and feel the insoles to know if they're worn out. If the soles are wearing through the outer layer to the foundation underneath, replace them. If the insole isn't cushioning, replace them. Your comments about the fit and the recent shin pain pretty clearly say the shoes are worn out. They're the most important investment you'll make in running, so don't be shy about getting new ones.
