Types of Spikes

Greg Milburn on May 21, 2012, 3:29pm | More Posts

So I'm a distance runner, 1600m/3200m guy, and I was wondering what kind of spikes to put in my "Nike Zoom Victories"? Some of my friends use pyramid spikes, while others have needle spikes. Then there is the issue of the length. Should I use 1/4 or 1/8 or 3/8? I know everyone has their own preference but which are the best for 1600m and 3200m?

1/4 inch christmas trees. Get the best traction and don't do any harm to the track. Ref gets in your face about them not being allowed, just drop some knowledge on him about CT's being better than the spikes they allow as a proven fact. Then fight him of course

I would go with the 1/4 pyramid spikes because those are usually the spikes that every track allows because some are strict about needles and length.

go with the normal 1/4 inch needle spikes
