I am currently using the Nike Zoom Victory XC 5 (cross country) spikes for my track events. I primarily care about my 400m performance, so I want the best spike that fits that. I want to get either the nike zoom rival sprint spike or nike zoom rival multi spike. I have two options, I can get the nike zoom rival sprint spike and use them for the 100-400 and then use my XC spike for the 800. Or I could just get the nike zoom rival multi to cover all my events. Which spike should I buy?
best spikes for 100 - 200 - 400 - 800 runner (main 400)

make sure your cross country spikes are 1/4 inch because otherwise they'd be too long and illegal for track events.

Maxfly would be my reccomondation. Ive used it as my primary 800m spike and had no issues even though its a sprint spike. It's the perfect spike for your situation

Is it possible financially for you to buy more than spike? I think you should have sprint spikes for your short sprints and a different set for your 800m races.

Thank you for your recommendation. I agree with you that the maxfly would be a great spike for me because I see it as an efficient 800 spike as well. However I am just freshmen in high school and I don’t want a super expensive spike yet. Once I’m a junior senior I will most likely get a more prestige and high end spike like the maxflys. The Nike zoom rival spikes are like 1/3 of the price of maxflys

This technique involves the use of a hammering action to break the ground and create a hole. It is commonly used in mining and construction.This post was edited 19 seconds after it was posted.03

Thoughts about what everyday trainers would be good for someone that will be running mainly 400/800 but may also see a little action at the 200 on the low end and the mile on the high end? Thank you.

The rivals also suck. Look around on ebay and Facebook marketplace, there’s always people selling their spikes. What size do you wear?
