What is faster? Running with trainers on track or on a pavement. I have never worn spikes so I don’t know how it feels on the track, but when I ran on a road with trainers it feels way better and faster than on the track. On a hard pavement or road it feels like the foot is implanted well on the surface and bounces right back unlike on the track.
Is track designed only for spikes?
Ever hear of racing flats?

What’s the difference between them and trainers? Neither has spikes
Weight and responsiveness.

Why that weight and responsiveness isn’t necessary on a pavement?
Most trainers don't do well on the track--too much cushion on top of cushion. Get a pair of racing flats for training on the track and it will feel much faster.
