I think I read somewhere that shoes should be replaced after 300 miles...Is this erroneous?

I'm 18.5 weeks from my first planned HM. I downloaded a 16 week training plan from halfmarathons.com..
My goal is to finish 2-2:15. Any advice?
I would say enjoy it. If it's your first one then I advise that don't make a certain time your goal. Especially if you never ran that distance before. Make building up the miles safely so you can run 13.1 your primary goal.
Once you can, I would suggest that you make your peak week in the plan the basis for your continued training after the Half.
Thanks! I registered today. Bart Yasso (Runner's World) is the keynote speaker at the pasta dinner! Hooray!0 -
8 mile interval run today0 -
I think I read somewhere that shoes should be replaced after 300 miles...Is this erroneous?
@Wendy1Fl They normally say around 500 but it can depend on many things from the way you run, your weight the surfaces you run on. I had one pair of road shoes I ran in most of last winter that had around 800 miles on them before I retired them. I've had other shoes such as asics that don't last me more than around 300 (so I don't buy them any more)' Trail shoes is a different kettle of fish I normally destroy the uppers before anything else on my trail shoes. 400- 500 is a good guide imo along with a sprinkling of common sense0 -
Took my first day off from running in over a week yesterday and felt much better on today's run - enough so that I decided to do some fartleks during a mid 80s temperature run.
13 miles to go with 3 days of running left.

Thank you
I'm up for a June challenge.
Well guys, I didn't completely give up, and I finished all 100 miles
It's my first time doing so.
5/28: 12 miles
105 miles out of 1000 -
New training plan has all my runs concentrated at the end of the week this week, so I did 3 mi. Easy last night.
Longish run with strides and a 30 minute recovery spin scheduled for tonight, so I'll check back in later.
42.1 miles so far0 -

The "hill" was all everyone promised it was be I did a speed walk up it and wanted to die never mind run Race was delayed an hour because a tree fell on the course 30 mins before start time.

My goal is to finish 2-2:15. Any advice?
Your first race should be to complete, regardless of time. Save the burden of PR'ing for subsequent races. If you must target a time, you should race a 5K and plug your time into a race prediction calculator to see if this is even attainable instead of just picking a finish time because it sounds nice.
