Run with or without socks in track spikes?

I always run without socks. I've also never gotten a blister from that, so don't worry. Running sockless is good, it lets you feel the heat of the track, and the cool breeze through the shoe. I run distance as well, the mile. Anyways, good luck in your running!

It may depend on what kind of tracks you'll be running on.  The different surfaces need different spikes.  But in any case, the lighter shoes the better.

you need to change your socks a couple times a day and make sure your shoes are completly dried out.  also when you use the athletes foot make sure you spray your shoes with it also.\ndont wear the same shoes over and over again change your shoes at least every other day.  when you get home walk around bare foot your athletes foot should never come back.  \nthe key is to keep everything dry

I would be worried about you messing up the way your foot hits the ground by putting something in your shoe. I've had a P.T. put pieces of foam in my shoes but he knew where I needed the support. Have you tried any form drills or fartleks? Form drills could change your form to where you have more spring in your step. Runners World always has good articles on this sort of thing.

I run in them...They usually just have a bit more traction. I actually love them in the winter, because they have less chance of all the snow and water getting in and soaking my feet.

breath regular it's just the gun to worry about, u run as soon as u hear that baby n don't u dare hesitate! 4by1 is the best track event ever it's a big rush and u have the power to do it obviously if ur first leg (cuz usually first and 4th leg are the fastest runners) as i said breath regular and just run, push ur self all the way and u'll be fine.

id have to go with asics also, but they're a good investment once u learn to wrestle with em.  I lost feeling in the front of my knee (like permanently) this season from it hittin the mat day after day lol.

i have a really good pair of asics that I use for everything. running outside, inside, sometimes i just wear them for fun because they're so comfortable. the best thing to do is go to a sporting goods store and try on the ones that you like.

Wear non-cotten wicking socks. Marino wool and cool-max are goods materials, how the sock is made also makes a difference. I use "Smart Wool" marino wool socks, and a couple different brands of synthetics with good results on my runs. \nMoisterizing cream also is important, I've had good results with cream containing tree tea oil.

Look at the wear pattern on your shoes - if it is uneven you may need orthotics \n\nIce you knees after running for 10 mins and make sure you are really warmed up before you run\n\nlook at knee braces if your knees are not stable and get a therpaist to show you how to develop your vastus medialis muscles \n\nfinally try and run on soft ground for at leats half the time or have aday off where you run in a pool instead of on the pavement

A starting block would be good. To help your leg, go to a track-field and practice jumping over posts or fences!\n\nGood-Luck!

I am no expert but try running from heel to toe. It sounds like you are running on the balls of your feet. I hope I was some kind of help!

You could try rubbing baby powder on them before putting on your socks, or some type of medicated powder like Gold Bond.  You can also get socks made from a CoolMax-type material that works to pull away sweat --generally used by runners while they work out.

A float you a couple of suggestions.\n\nTake your shoes into a professional running store.  Let them watch you run.  Many of the better stores also have sophisticated tools to get a fix on your foot strike tendencies.  Being in the right shoe makes a big difference. \n\nIf you have flat feet, or pronate, supinate, or are a natural heel striker, they will get you in the right shoe.  It's also possible that you are bio-mechanically doing what you are built for.  If you are having pain, or other issues, and orthopedist could help.\n\nThe next thing is comfort.  Focus less on how you strike the ground, and more on your overall comfort and effciency.  Do you flail your arms?  Do you take unusually long strides?  Do you bounce?  The goal is to transmit your energy forward as best possible, spending little time in the air.\n\nA video camera is a great tool.  Even a friend can film you.  Have your friend shoot you running toward the camera, away from the camera, and from the side.  You can watch yourself, and if you have access to a coach, get some feedback.\n\nLast, the biggest part of running faster is sheer cadio-vascualr fitness.  You will get better over time.

There is no best shoe. You should buy a shoe that you know you can run in. A shoe that is comfortable to you. But in track meets you should have track spikes. Some are expensive and some are cheaper. Buy one that you think is a good fit and make sure it is a reliable brand.  I like brooks and saucony. :)

You should ice them. Yeah and you should also do toe raisers. The cause may be runnning too much, you may need to change your shoes or rest your legs a little. It may also be because of your running form. If you heel strike you are more likely to develope shin splints. The pain? Rest up. Personally i think that you can run through them. They usually eventually go away. Oh yeah try to not run on hard surfaces like concrete. Run on grass or dirt roads. These surfaces absorb more shock.
