Can spikes improve your sprinting time?

Question

spikes(track shoes)

Answer 1

You could run faster with them on a rubber track.  Not sure if there aloud in middle school track & field though, because when I was in Gr. 8 they checked our shoes to see if we had spikes.

Answer 2

You will run faster with spikes.

You should race in spikes, and do limited training in them so your body is used to running in spikes before the race.

Answer 3

yes, definetly worth the investmant

in track they are good, they are also good for longer trail runs (like cross country) so there are a lot of varieties! try spikes that have 6 or seven spike holes, with 1/8 inch spikes, plastic where the spikes go and good soft padding under your heel

certain lengths of the spikes aren't allowed in certain competitions check with you coach or someone who would know

also, don't go to major sports stores, first they probably won't have them this time of year, and second, they aren't that good at fitting or suggesting shoes

go to a good local running/walking store

Answer 4

They can. i got them a week ago and when i did 100 metre i cut 0.2 off my time
