    Got fitted properly for runners last Nov. Have been running avg 3-4 times a week since. Did good bit of races 5, 10's and few HM's but now with little over 3 weeks to DCM I'm realising that need new ones.
    Is it too late to change even if I get same pair??
    Should I stay as I am??

    Rookie mistake!!

    Just read an article a few hours ago that says you should have at least 50 miles on a new pair before wearing for a marathon. I guess that over 3 weeks gives you plenty of time to get that mileage on them.
    Shouldn't be a problem with a new pair at all I'd say at this stage. I'd alternate the new pair with your existing pair though and break them in gradually that way.

    If the same model then the 50mile rule would be spot on or two long runs of atleast 15miles plus and a few short runs.
