and if they arent can you tell me some good distance training/running shoes?

Since the Nike Free 7.0 (or any other version running shoe) is a performance shoe, I originally thought they were only for sprinting. As it turns out, they are also very good for running long distances. A few of my running buddies from a marathon training program wear them, and they swear by them. I'm not quite sold on them yet, but I see no problems running a half marathon (13.1 miles) in them, because I have seen a lot of people do it successfully. I'm not sure whether they have enough support to last for a full marathon (26.2 miles), but I have been wrong before..
Anyway, there are lots of great distance running shoes, and they are mostly made by Asics, Nike, Mizuno, Brooks, New Balance, and Saucony. The best way to figure out which one is best to you is to go to a specialty running shoe store, have them analyze your running form, and run with a few pairs of shoes that they recommend.

The Nike Free 7.0 is a light weight cross trainer. It would be okay for 2 or 3 mile jaunts, but not for 25 to 35 miles per week. Nike is making some good styles with either the shox cushioning or full-length Air soles. Nike's impax cushioning system is a bit stiff for most people under 200 pounds.

Actually, Nike has been coming out with better shoes recently, the Frees being a good example. The minimalist trend actually has science backing it up! If you are getting injured from the Frees, it is probably either your running form that needs work, or you did more than you could handle. That is not the fault of the shoe.

Go to your local running store and have them evaluate your gait. They can make the best recommendations for a shoe that will fit you well, suit your running style/terrain and fit your budget. If you buy shoes based simply on the recommendations and reviews of others, you might as well as buy shoes for THEM, not YOU! The Nikes may work for you or they may not. Based on the mixed reviews above, i'd get a professional opinion on what will work best for what YOU want to do.
Good luck!

From what I hear, these are not at all good for training.
Lately, Nike has not been coming out with very good running shoes. They seem to have lost their ways.
Asia, Saucony, Mizuno, Brooks, and adidas seem to be much better shoes to look at.

they aren't really designed for distance running. more agility type stuff. i own a pair of these and also a pair of Nike Air Max 360's, they're very good running shoes!

Owning the streamlined and smooth design, the Nike Air Max Classic BW features a textile upper with perforated heel accent and contrasting wraparound stripe. The mesh Nike Max Air unit provides you with the ultimate impact protection and Waffle outsole for traction and plush cushioning. Choose your favorite one from loads of colors to match with your own personality.
