I have a pair of brook Adrenalines with 240 miles on them- including the Chicago marathon 2 weeks ago. Something about running a marathon always makes me want to replace the shoes when I start fresh. Should there be more life in them?
I’m 5’10" weighed about 165 throughout the course of training. Slight pronantion.
Replace them or what?
I have the same shoe and just got the new one Adrenaline 6. I put about 450 miles on the Adrenaline 5’s and the same for the adrenaline 4’s.
BTW the 6 is the is best one yet. It’s an ounce lighter and still has the same amount of support and cushion. I’m 6’ and 157 pounds.
You should be able to get some more miles out of those.

You can probably wear them still, unless they feel worn out. I can always tell when the support is gone from my shoes. Typically you can get 350-500 mi out of a pair of running shoes, so yours are probably good for more training.
All the stuff I’ve read says 400-500 miles.
Congrats on yur race.
I think it depends on the shoe, I wear the Mizuno Wave Rider 8’s, love’em but they breakdown faster then most training shoes. I replace them after about 300-350 miles.

those had about 1300 km

You are a very bad example…
How long have you been running? When I first started running more or less seriously, at least compared with most Americans, I couldn’t get much more than 225 miles on them before my legs or knees started to bother me. Now, my legs are a lot more accustomed to running, I weigh a lot less and my running form is presumably better and I can get more like 350 to 375 out of a pair of shoes before the same thing happens. IMO, buying a new pair of running shoes before the old ones are quite worn out is like changing the oil in your engine every 3000 miles. Not necessary, but a fairly cheap way of increasing the lifespan of each vehicle.
