I'm running a 5k on the roads this weekend. I'm a junior in high school and I feel like if I wear trainers I'll go slowly. I'm missing a track meet for this vacation where the race is so I figured I'd run a race while I'm there. My friends said to just wear my trainers but I want to set a big pr because I'm in better shape right now than I was during xc. I was think of just taking the actual spikes out of my xc/track spikes. Would that work? Would I get injured?
Depends on what spikes you have. You can put blank studs in and run in them, but depending on the material on the bottom you could get some slippage. In that case it's faster to just Jason Rexing it.

I've done this before with XC spikes (Nike Forever XC and Nike Victory XC). Not as good as flats, but WAY better than trainers. Go for it, you'll be fine.
