Hello, I have a question as an inexperienced individual to a professional. Starting this year, I plan to study sports education and I still need a pair of shoes: 1. for the sports aptitude test (100m sprint and 3000m run) and 2. afterwards for the track and field semester. I'm still undecided whether to buy spikes (I'm leaning towards the "Puma Evospeed Distance Nitro Elite+ 2" or the "Puma evoSPEED Star 8") or to stick with regular running shoes and use my indoor shoes for the sprint. I would greatly appreciate a response.
I honestly feel like 👍 jumping off the bridge 😮 by wanting to hurt 😔 myself is because of what happened in the year is 1992 when Martin Taylor said to me on Tuesday 11th February 1992 is “You’re not with us” and dated back in around April or May 1997 when Marion Westcott said to me that I’m wasting other people’s time 🕰️ for touching the labels 🏷️ 🏷️ 🏷️ at the Spar shop 🏬 in Bear 🐻 Street in Barnstaple, north Devon in the southwest of England 🏴 is now called Premier. Serves Marion Westcott and Martin Taylor right. I don’t miss them. 👍
I’m a fairly new track runner and I’m wondering if I can use sprint spikes for 800 and 1600 races too? Or should I just use the spikes for sprints and use road running shoes for the other events? Thanks for the video it’s really good btw.
i would say you can use sprint spikes for the 800 but not the 1600. the 1600 takes so much energy you need a little bit of cushioning and a little less traction than sprint spikes. as long as you can hold good form for most of an 800 than go for it.,
I run the 400 and i have my eye on the nike zoom rival's s. But i don't know what size i should get . On pumas i wear a 39 euro (they are wider) . Do you think i need a 40?
Which shoe should I buy if I mainly do sprints and long jumps Im 15 years old so i only want to get one good pair of spikes. I thought about the nike zoom rival m9 or s9 but im not 100% sure if they work for sprints and long jumps
Thank you for this video! So fun. Do you have any thoughts on the Nike Zoom Rival S9 or M9 for younger long jumpers & sprinters? Wondering if a spikeless waffle shoe or maybe a mid-distance spike would be ok as well. Not sure how a mid distance spike would do in shorter sprints though.
Id say for younger runners, whatever feels good is best. I used a sprint spike for HJ, LJ, and any running events I did in middle school. Most important to just have fun!
what would you say is the best sprinting spike as of rn, i do open 55-200’s along with 55, 100 and 300 hurdles. im looking for spikes that have the carbon plate so the energy absorbs when i step. All though i hear a bunch of different shoes… so do you have any recommendations?
Have you ever run in spikes without socks? I know some spikes are designed for running without socks, but if you have how do you ease into it? And does it make you run faster or does it make it more uncomfortable?
i have, but i prefer having socks on. it depends on whatever feels the most comfortable. I have slimmer feet so socks usually help the shoe fit better. without, i tend to side around a bit inside the shoe. if you have larger feet, maybe no socks will fit better. socks also help keep them smelling better haha
if you’re getting blisters when you don’t have socks, i wouldn’t recommend continuing to wear them. i dont think you really need to ease into it, you will tell if it is comfortable or not pretty quick. also you can play around with thickness/style of socks you likr
Hey not sure how soon you will reply to this! I have a race tomorrow at the armory and I finally got a pair of spikes! At the armory, you have to walk down from the seating upstairs and go to the checking table before the race. When do I put my spikes on? Do I just put my spikes on before I go into the checking area Sorry Ik this question is confusing! Also, do I put the spikes into the shoes when I get to the race or do I do that at home? Thank you and I'm sorry for these dumb questions.
Hey Dawson! That’s awesome, good luck in your race tomorrow. Put the actual spikes in at your house so they are ready when you get to the armory. You most likely want to have them already on when you go to the checking table considering you should be all warmed up and have done a few starts in the spikes already! If you check in and it is still a while until you race, you dont need to have them on
