This is my recommendation for the 800-mile.

I wear flats for the 2 mile so here is my recommendation for that, but the hyper MD works just fine, theyve also updated it. I recommend going to a running speciality shop to see how various spikes feel first though.

Also, unless youre groomed at this and have done it before, wait until youre deep in the season and have talked to your coach before buying spikess.

Happy racing.

Last season wore the Adidas xcs; https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Performance-Spikeless-Cross-Country-Running/dp/B01FZYT54W/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_309_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=1QE7VHVW6NNK80A8EST7

Some people may not like the color, but it's a super comfortable flat. If I don't like any of the new flats coming out this season, I'll be wearing those again.

Not the biggest load, but some load. Breakdown of the 5 technologies in the shoe

  • "FlyteFoam 55% lighter...more resilient". Not really BS, but not actually leagues above the competition. All the other shoe companies compare themselves to this standard EVA foam that almost no high end shoes use. The Lunarlon foam from nike is 33% lighter, but what really matters is how light the entire midsole is. You can have the lightest density material, but that's useless if you need to make a really thick midsole. If you want lightweight, go with the Wave Universe (ok, don't but they feel like paper origami shoes)

  • "AdaptTruss ...carbon reinforced..stability system beneath the arch...rigid if the arch of the foot rolls too much". Carbon, that's the marketing BS word. Otherwise, it's a standard stability system, similar to Saucony's power grid, or to Mizono's wave tech.

  • "DUOMAX dual density midsole ...provides adaptive stability". This is too much hype for using two foams in the midsole.

  • "X-GEL ... refinement of the cushioning system". This is nice, but not an industry breakthrough. Ascics love their gel, so this is just another gel system update.

  • "MetaClutch ... newly designed exoskeleton external heel counter". "WE PUT PLASTIC AROUND THE HEEL". This just adds weight to the shoe and adds stability. Nothing fancy here. Fancy is Under armour using a thin rubber-like overlay around the heel

they should be fine if you're just running it once or twice, but running anything longer than a 400 in sprint spikes will wreak havoc on your calves. the plastic plate on the sole forces you to stay up on your toes, which shreds those calf muscles if you aren't used to toe running (they still do if you do usually have a forefoot strike, it just isn't as bad). it looks like the plate on your spikes isn't as crazy as some i've seen, but still expect to be sore the day after. tl;dr: there's nothing wrong with using them for the 800 as long as you're fine with being crazy sore the day after

if you're planning on being a regular in the 800, i'd suggest finding some cheaper, maybe year-old models of mid-distance spikes. it'll save you a lot of muscle soreness, as well as maybe improve your times by a second or two. the saucony endorphin md4 is the lightest mid-distance spike out there as far as i know, and it's relatively cheap for such a great spike

I wear the Mizuno Wave Universe 5's. In a size 10, they weigh 6.28oz. After reading all the threads on BPL about the new vivo ultra shoes, I decided it didn't seem like the best choice for me.

What would be a more versatile color scheme? Something like this?

u/ryan_lewis · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Not sure what exact style of 574 you're looking for, but here are some of the ones that I found (a couple of the links have two different varieties of green in each style):

XC = Cross-country. Some cross-country trails involve loose dirt, sand, muddy steep hills, and other sorts of difficult terrain where you want spiked shoes for extra traction. Shoes like this: http://www.amazon.com/Saucony-Mens-Kilkenny-Spike-Track/dp/B0039UTO50
