Running Shoes - How much mileage should you get out of a pair?

The first episode of the Ask Coach Parry Podcast sees us answer a question from Dewald Bothma:I’m running my back-to-back Comrades Marathon this year but have noticed that I’m getting very low mileage on my shoes.

I am 1.94m tall and weigh just under 100kg. I realise I am not a light (or short) runner and this must affect my shoes too?My question is which shoes you would recommend I run in – so I get maximum mileage, but also so I run with shoes that are best for my height/weight (in terms of preventing injuries, etc)?If you would like to read the transcript of this interview, click here.If you have a question you would like us to answer, please feel free to ask it on our brand new forum.
