Quesetion about sprinting shoes (spikes)?

Question

Im doing the 100 meter dash/4x100 meter sprint in a race

And i was wondering, should the spike shoes be tight on your feet or just a little loose to help you run faster

I wanna run my best at the race, so is there any other tips i should know about sprinting ?

Thank you ! (:

Answer 1

They should be tight on your feet, nice and secure.

Tips? Dont be the moron that jumps the gun. Always wait for the sound never anticipate.

Answer 2

Spikes should fit like a glove, they are tight, but do not hurt your feet.

When sprinting remember that your foot should contact the ground in a pawing motion with the foot coming rearward at the same speed  you are moving forward.

Don't point the toes down, keep them up in a dorsi flexed position.

The foot should touch down only slightly in front, one of the biggest mistakes is too long a stride, running is a pushing motion not a  pulling motion.
