How often should running shoes be replaced?
Running shoes should generally be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or approximately every 6 to 8 months for regular runners. The exact lifespan of a pair of running shoes will depend on various factors, including the runner's weight, running style, the type of terrain they run on, and the quality of the shoes.
It is important to note that running shoes can lose their cushioning and support over time, even if they are not being used regularly. Worn-out running shoes can increase the risk of injury and lead to discomfort while running. Therefore, it is recommended to replace running shoes regularly to ensure that they provide adequate support and cushioning.
It is also a good idea to pay attention to any signs of wear and tear on the shoes, such as worn-out soles, holes in the upper, or a loss of support. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to replace your running shoes, even if you haven't reached the 300 to 500 mile range yet.

How far apart are the hurdles in the 300 meter hurdle race?
The distance between 300 Hurdles (or 400 Hurdles) is 35 meters. The distance to the first hurdle (in high school races) is 45 meters and 10 meters from the last (8th) hurdle to the finish line. This is exactly the same as the first 300 meters of a 400 Hurdle race, though the relative position on the track is moved to finish at the common finish line.

What are good track and field weight workouts?
I'm on a track team so... I suggest that when you have a track meet, stretch ALOT. Yes, running is always important, but you do want to stay as loose as possible. I run 4 miles every day. Though I'm not a long distance runner, it deffinately gets you ready for the big day. Do whatever is most comfortable and I'm sure that you'll do well.

How many miles can a pair of running shoes last?
It all depends on your shoes.
I run Cross Country for my high school. Over the course of 3 years, I have put over 300 miles on my shoes over all kinds of terrain. They still offer good support and comfort, but the tread is wearing down a good bit.
The easiest way to tell how your shoes are wearing is:
1) Inspecting the tread on the bottom of the shoe. If the tread had holes in it or is becoming increasingly flimsy, your shoes probably need replacing. This is a sign of high use, like my running shoes...
2) Consider how your feet fit in the shoe. Not just sizing differences. If your experience feet, ankle, or shin problems (pain) it could be because of your shoes wearing out. The easiest was for a show to wear is in support. If the shoe has slowly lost its original "springy-ness" or comfort in the arch of your feet, chances are, the support in your shoes is becoming inadequate.

What is the average 40 yard dash for a starting out high school cornerback?
Anything faster than a 4.60 second forty yard dash is excellent. A high school cornerback would be expected to run at least a 4.80 second forty yard dash, though playing speed is much more important than timed speed on a track.
A high school cornerback who would like to play major college football (Division 1A [FBS]) would probably need to run a sub-4.60 forty, while elite prospects would need to run a 4.50 forty or better.
