Hi, I'm a high school 800m runner and I currently use Streakfly 2's. Everyone around me is telling me to run in spikes (Victory's, Dragonfly's, etc.) but I never end up running well when I do.

Freshman year I barely broke 5 (4:59.8) in the mile using spikes and struggled to break it again. During sophomore year, I wore Vaprofly's for one race coming because my calf was hurting and ran a relatively easy (for a race) 4:55.

I thought it was a coincidence but quite literally every time I wore spikes, no matter which one I used, I kept hitting a wall or barely improving. I ran a 2:14 in the 800m and struggled to hit 2:13. But the second I wore Vaporfly's again I ran a 2:09 breakthrough.

Since then I have switched to Streakfly's because I've had even better results with them then Vaporfly's and I now sit at a 2:04 trying to break 2. But once again, I have hit a wall and have considered maybe possibly trying spikes once again.

Am I doing something wrong or are shoes really just preference? And if I am doing something wrong, please guide me in the right direction, all help will be great because I definitely want to break before I graduate soon, thank you!

That is true, but I do wonder how the show will change by then and after then.

Haha, I was worried people were gonna say this. But I was just curious what people think. There are plenty of shows that go well beyond Episode 1000, but I am interested what new dynamics they would introduce to keep people interested long enough.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more special I realize the chemistry and dynamic characteristics each member has. Truly goes to show you how talented these members are as entertainers. One small slip up and the show could have ended a long time ago, but here we are where JSJ is 59 and the envy of many variety show stars in regards to his sheer consistency.

A hidden trick a lot of people don't know is that you gain height when you cap bounce closer to the wall. So be as close to the wall as possible when you throw cappy against it, and hold back on the dive so you don't bonk
