Track and Field Distance Spikes
Distance Spikes can be broken down into two categories. Middle Distance; which generally includes the 800m, 1500m, and 1600m events; and Long Distance; which generally includes the 3000m, steeplechase, 3200m, 5000m, and 10000m events. These spikes contain a higher level of cushioning and less aggressive design to allow for greater comfort over the longer distances.
