Hi, I am a high schooler looking for new distance spikes. I run the 1600 and 3200 (and an occasional 800) in track and the 5k in XC. I'm trying to buy spikes for track and for XC so I was curious is there any spikes that are great for both. Or should I not crossover with my spikes and have different ones for each season. Just curious whether there is good track distance spikes that can be used for cross or good xc spikes I can use for track. Any ideas?

Dragonflies seem to be the popular choice right now for both distance track and XC. Though the Adidas Avanti TYO is probably going to become equally successful.
Yeah, I've looked onto the dragonflies but fear that they may break down quickly off of the track.
I used the Nike Zoom Victory 5 XC for the past xc season and I really liked the shoe. I also use the dragonfly's for track but personally I would not recommend them on most xc courses. Maybe ones that are more gross and theres not much gravel.
Yeah I've seen a lot about those. Have you ever raced in the XC 5s on the track?
Can you even get Dragonflys nowadays?

Answering my own question: Yes, you can. After weeks of being sold out, they just restocked on the Nike site.
I have not but they seem like they would definitely be good on the track as well. I've seen people use them on the track and they seem fine.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
