Well now we know why she's injured. Only runners I know who put that type of mileage on shoes are supe thin, lightweight runners, and not many of em.
http://www.womensforum.com/running-marathons-parvaneh-intends-to-run-1000.htmlThere are two reasons for overusing shoes. First of all, my shoes just start getting comfortable after the first few 100 miles. I also don’t have a shoe sponsor yet and they can get very expensive! Last year I used close to 10 pairs, two of them melted during the Badwater race because of 200 degree on the asphalt!
She runs/walks so slow b/c she has about 10 different broken bones depending on what story you read, and b/c she has no shoe sponsor, she wears hers into the ground.
Personally, seems like she could take ONE of her race registration fees and buy a new pair... I have no problems buying close out shoes as I also lack a shoe sponsor, and it has been working fine! I never felt bad about not having a shoe sponsor, b/c I am a hobby jogger. If PM, Badwater 135 cheater, gets a she sponsor, I am going to start writing letters to whatever company that does so. Who does she think she represents? Cheaters?
