I have been testing the new Antepes Muscle Runners. These shoes are different. They are designed to produce a forefoot strike and are shaped much more like a track spike than a running shoe. Hence they make a great shoe for sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers (and team sport players) looking for a go-virtually anywhere intermediate option between trainers and spikes.
These shoes have the added advantage that you can use them on the road (and even trails). Somewhat obviously you could not do downhill sprints on concrete in your spikes but you can in the Muscle Runners. They have many innovative features - two being the negative heel gain and the carbon-fibre forefoot plate. They really do energise your sprinting and drilling.
I do really recommend them - as do two members of my training group, Leigh and Abraham, they’ve been using them for months.
