Best Jump Spikes of 2025
Michael
A former collegiate runner and state championship winning XC/Track coach, Michael used to be fast...ish, and he believes that with the right shoes and training plan he could someday become fast-ish again. Michael tends to play around with uptempo 5ks more than Marathons or (shudders) ultramarathons, and he loves a snug, narrow-fitting shoe with some snappy turnover.
