ya a lot a spike will take about 5-15 seconds of your mile time.


buy a distance spike becasue they have a hell and are built for long distance running. dont buy a sprint spike which doesnt have a heel. or you can also just buy a racing flat if you are gonna be running on pavement

Reply:the weight definitely does. that is why i train in shoes that are about 13.5 oz. and on race day i use shoes that are around 7 oz. Wearing heavier shoes weighs you down more making it harder to go faster. When yoou use the lighter shoes after that, your legs are stronger and the shoes fell so light on your feet.
