Extreme Veteran 321 New Jersey | Subject: RE: Trainers Vs Spikes - What is faster? I would think the answer would depend on the event. Short sprint events ~vs~ long distance events. So I would say, spikes for sprints and trainer for longer distances. |

I wore them up to distances of 2 miles. As far as differences, well they are lighter and have better traction (helpful on turns and that last sprint). However, if you have biomechanical issues, you may want to stick with trainers, as spikes have absolutely no support, and very little cushion. There's a reason they call them flats! |

Extreme Veteran 439 Germantown, MD | Subject: RE: Trainers Vs Spikes - What is faster? Tough to put a number on it. My guess would be in the 5-10 second range. We aren't talking minutes or anything. |

Extreme Veteran 391 Oregon | Subject: RE: Trainers Vs Spikes - What is faster? Didn't we go over this once before? I would wear spikes for a 1500m. They are faster than flats for this distance. Did you race recently? How did you do? Randy Edited by Blacktoe 2005-03-18 5:39 PM |

Veteran 280 Essex | Subject: RE: Trainers Vs Spikes - What is faster? i have only raced this a couple of times before. Last time was about 2 years ago at a school athletics competition against other schools. I got a 4.56 then and i should have gotten faster within the space of two years. My running has improved. Ive started going down the track on tuesdays now. I had a fun run last weekend and i came 1st in my age group and 3rd out of 709 competitors. (The people who beat me were 21 and 18, im 16) |

Regular 85 Illinois | Subject: RE: Trainers Vs Spikes - What is faster? Definitely spikes for a 1500. They're much lighter than trainers and the spikes keep your feet from slipping outwards as you run the turns. |
