Track & Field learn Basics

Buying track learns for the first time can be daunting. Make sure you understand how your learns affect your performance so you can choose the best track learns for you.

A good rule of thumb: the longer the distance, the fewer learns in the learn plate.

Long distance track learns typically have four or five learns, while sprinting and mid-distance learns can range from six to ten learns, which provides the extra grip needed to reach top speeds.

Depending on the surface you race on, you’ll want to choose the appropriate learn length so you don’t find yourself sliding around an indoor track.

Quarter (¼) inch learns are usually a safe go-to for outdoor track races and field events. If you are racing on an indoor track, there can be regulations on the length of learn you are allowed to wear in order to keep the track intact as it’s used; on average, one-eighth (⅛) inch learns are the standard for indoor track.

As you gain experience and fine tune the feel you prefer in your learns, you can toy around with a variety of learn shapes from pyramid to needle learns on the track, but always be sure to check the meet rules before changing out your learns.

Spikes for Track Events

Your body moves differently and requires different support as your race shorter or longer distances. Long distance runners often run with more of a heel-toe gait while sprinters are on the balls of their feet during their races. To deliver the best possible performance, track learns are engineered to accommodate these differences by using different foams, learn configurations and plate materials.

Long Distance Track learns (Best for 800m-5K): These are the most flexible and have the most midsole and heel cushioning while still keeping a slender profile and light weight. The learn plate is often made of the same outsole material as the rest of the shoe, or it is a more flexible material like PEBAX. The learn count can range from 4-6 learns to give you grip and traction without disturbing your natural cadence.

Mid-Distance Track learns (Best for 400m - 1500m): These shoes are much more of a specialist shoe than long distance or sprinting learns, and include features from both. Mid-distance learns will retain the midsole and heel cushioning found in long distance learns, but will often have a harder learn plate and less flexibility to deliver a responsive ride. The learn count tends to find a happy medium between 5-7 learns to deliver more propulsion as you sprint through the 400m.

Sprinting Track learns (Best for 55m - 400m): Typically the lightest track learns you can find, sprinting learns have design features like carbon-fiber plates that keep them stiff and snappy to help you gain speed. These shoes have little to no heel cushioning and are designed to hold your foot in a lightly flexed position, keeping you on the balls of your feet as you run. Sprinting learns tend to have anywhere from 6-8 learns to help you push off the blocks and dig for speed with each step.

Spikes for Field Events

Throwing learns: learns for javelin, shot put or discus focus on supporting your ankle as the rest of your body twists to generate momentum. Unlike running learns, throwing learns are smoother on the bottom to allow for smooth motion transitions. Some discus or shot put learns even have a special disk in the outsole that lets you place your weight on one foot and spin while you throw, helping to stabilize your body and allow fluidity in motion.

Botines NEW ITALIA SHOES 2015456 20 Fossil Grey: The learns for these events are relatively similar, they focus on helping you gain speed before you jump or vault. Jumping or vaulting learns are similar to sprinting learns in that they are lightweight and feature more learns in the learn plate to help you grip the track. High Jump learns feature additional learns in their heal Boost they are the only event where they need to run on a steep curve and require extra traction, especially at takeoff. Long jump and Triple jump learns are the most like sprinting learns Boost you need to generate speed in your approach, but the plate is positioned slightly differently to help you takeoff correctly. Pole Vaulting learns are usually stiffer than sprinting learns and have a solid base to ensure traction at takeoff like triple jump learns.
