    You might also want to start doing a Myrtl routine to strengthen the hips. A lot of injuries do originate in unstable hips and these can really help.

    It's also a good idea to keep track of the mileage on your shoes. How long they last varies, based on the model and the wearer, but they lose internal support before the wear shows externally. I expect about 400-500 miles for most shoes, though I've had some that lasted longer. Since I rotate between several pairs, I keep track of the mileage in my log on runningahead.com. When a shoe reaches 500, it gets retired to either a walking shoe or a garden shoe.

    Good shoes make a huge difference in running. I'd suggest warming up, stretching, running, cooling down and stretching again. I have IT band issues. Post workout stretches feel fantastic. Good luck.
