I've had my ds trainers 14 since at least January and they're about to fall apart. My season and collegiate career may end in two weeks unless I pr in the 5000 by about 25 seconds. I pretty sick of running and want to take a long time off when this season's over. However I am definitely the fittest I've ever been and could very well have a breakout race. So my question is should I go ahead and buy a new pair of shoes, or hold out to see how long my season will extend?
I'm calling troll alter, but just in case.. no don't worry about your shoes, I've often gotten injured more when switching to a new pair of shoes rather than continuing to run in old ones. Unless you are starting to experience shin splits or something else, a few more miles in your current shoes aren't going to hurt. ps if you feel burned out mentally you probably aren't going to have a break out race. sack up and get your head in the game other wise you might as well write the season off now
There's no shame in quitting.
