> Second important thing are fresh shoes. No more than 600km.
That’s what shoe companies want you to believe. I just run until they fall apart. A couple of thousand km easily.

Amazing! What kind of shoes do you use?
Mine do basically fall apart around 600km and I can feel a big difference in cushioning. New shoes feel like springs that give my feet a sproing, old shoes are like running barefoot – no sproing at all.
By the time I need to buy new ones, fashions will hopefully have shifted back…
By the way, when I say fall apart, I mean it literally: toes peeking out and losing bits of the sole.
I also rotate the shoes: the older ones are for the easy runs, the newer ones for tempo or intervals.
