Training for one or more marathons requires a lot from your running shoes. To determine whether they need replacing, it is necessary to look at the wear pattern. Do you see wear under the heel and the ball of the forefoot? This may indicate decay. If you observe wrinkles in the midsole, this means that the original cushioning has been reduced. The surface you run on largely determines the wear process of the insole. Do you run mainly on asphalt? Then the sole of your shoe will wear out faster than when you run mainly on dirt tracks. What is the maximum number of marathons you can run per year? Running a marathon is of course a super fun challenge, but it also takes a lot out of your body. The maximum number of marathons you can run per year varies a lot from person to person. Generally, the guideline is to run a maximum of two marathons a year. This is because preparing and training for a marathon takes a lot of preparation. Think about three to six months. But don't forget the recovery too! This takes at least six to eight weeks. You are sufficiently recovered when you no longer feel pain in your body, your resting pulse has returned to normal values and when you are mentally ready to run again.
