At various levels of college running, what amount of trainers and spikes are college runners getting? I would think a pair of spikes easily last a season and maybe even from X-country into track (i.e. one pair for both). But curious how many trainers and racing flats are given and how much do college guys wear the racing flats? Maybe the occasional x-country course that has some asphalt? Maybe just to do some speed workouts?
Depends on the college and how fast you are, but at my school, it’s 1 pair of spikes for xc, 2 for track, 2-3 pairs of vaporflies per year for workouts,
and many many infinity reacts
That seems pretty generous if they are going to give you lots of trainers. Those are the ones that would be see the most mileage.
Well funded D1 (either because they're successful, the school has a huge endowment, or a combination of both): multiple pairs of superspikes, supershoes, and a lot of trainers. You also get a parka
Poorly funded D1 / poorly funded D3: a shirt
