Running Spikes

GET READY TO RACE IN TRACK RUNNING SHOES WITH SPIKES

If you’re going to be running on an athletics track rather than the streets or the trails, you’ll need a special pair of running spikes. These are designed to enable you to run fast and efficiently on the track surface, unlike running shoesdesigned for different surfaces, these feature specially constructed spikes on the soleplate to grip the ground. This extra grip allows you to transfer more power into your strides, so you can move faster and more efficiently. Spiked running shoes also tend to be considerably lighter than road running shoes, so they’re great for competitions.

GO FOR GOLD IN STYLE

MASTER TRACK AND FIELD, ONE STRIDE AT A TIME

When you’re training hard, the right gear is essential as you strive to run your personal best. But are spikes better than running shoes? They are if you’re running on a track, but they’re not suitable for use on other surfaces such as tarmac streets or the gym, for which you need a pair of regular running trainers. Of course if you’re a complete novice at running, you’re best off starting by mastering the basics, and adidas’ range of running shoes for beginners can help you there.
