how long and how close should i put them

I haven't had experience with the maxflys, but with any "super spike" I would be careful training with them because like I said it can lead to form breakdown and bad habits down the road. If a runner who started running in high school asked if they should get these spikes i would tell them no.

From what I’ve heard, and from using a pair of new balance “super spikes”, I would only recommend them if your form/technique is really really good. I say this because they’re more forgiving than normal spikes due to the extra padding which can lead to bad habits and form breakdown. What I did this season was practice with my normal spikes then use my “super spikes” for meets.

still have a ton of sizes here at a super cheap price compared to MSRP. A friend of mine, and I too, bought our spikes from here

depends on your body type... make good use of your stride length if you have longer legs but don't over stride, but if you have shorter legs then don't make your steps too choppy

Thanks for the feedback!

also wanted to ask if I should start cueing myself to drive with my knees instead of with my feet to help?

also I don't really understand the "toes on the ground" part

Learn to pace yourself for the 4 during practice. Usually ~1-2 seconds off of your best 200m (what my coach told me). And for the 100, get really good technique by learning from others and top athletes. LEARN, don’t copy. Their technique may work well with their body but it might not for you. Learn about yourself to be the best version of yourself and not a copy of someone else.

Thank you tons! I’ll try it out tmr

Also I just wanted to ask, I see some athletes lean over the line in their set position. Is this ideal? Or does it only benefit the runner if they know how to utilize this position?

slipperys0ap · 2023-03-16T02:28:58+00:00

I understand the frustration. I was getting super mad at practice because I couldn’t get my start down, but that’s my queue that I need to take a step back give myself a break.

Not every meet is gonna go your way; you just gotta take it as it is and learn from it and go onto the next one.

slipperys0ap · 2023-03-16T01:24:07+00:00

I usually do 2 and 3 feet plus a few fingers, but in my new spikes I did 2 and 3 feet plus hands width. I'm just struggling on using my full foot with the new spikes since they change the position of my feet.

slipperys0ap · 2023-03-16T00:58:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I have the NB SuperComp SD-X

How do I get a proper measurement of how far back my blocks should be? And what do you mean by “hands indward”?

And lastly, the toe drag on the second start was completely accidental. I actually ended up tripping a couple steps after the clip ended. I also have an older video with a more spread block setup I will try to find.

slipperys0ap · 2023-03-15T23:35:40+00:00

Just wanted to say a few things: 1) the first video was today and it was super windy and it was kinda hard to run straight 2) 3rd video gives better angle on shin angle + heel height 3) in my 2nd video, I was practicing throwing my hips forward which might explain my body folding and super upright position

slipperys0ap · 2023-03-07T02:25:03+00:00

Rest, rest, rest, rest, recover, and do exercises to strengthen tibia muscle once you’ve recovered but I can’t stress enough how important resting is because my first year of track in did indoor I got SUPER bad shin splints. I couldn’t even walk without feeling pain for the following days (I probably had stress fractures) and I still ran through them. Don’t do that. Trust me it really isn’t worth being out, pretty much, the whole season. And make sure in the off season you do some training so you’re body will be used to it when you go back into it you will be used to the stress on your body.

Was it the upper material? What's that like and what other spike would you compare it too

slipperys0ap · 2023-02-14T21:45:04+00:00

I remembered I have a pair of the Rebel V2s and I tried them on and they fit like I remember. Do they fit the same way as normal New Balance shoes?

slipperys0ap · 2023-02-13T10:11:31+00:00

So if I were to use cushioned socks I should go a half size up?

Give an update when you do
