Has anyone run in the Brooks ELMN8 v4? Could you run the 1600m in it?
Has anyone run in the Brooks ELMN8 v4? Could you run the 1600m in it?
Yes overall they're a great spike and you can run the 1600m in them. It is Brook's primary 800-1500 spike. They're more aggressive than the victories (better for the 800m) less aggressive than the Adizero MD but I did not like it's feel around the foot and lack of any cushioning or a least a "soft feel" around the foot. It's a great spike but the plate is so flat that I doesn't feel great on foot personally. Personally for the mile I'd rather wear Victories but I'm also a huge Nike fanboy.
It depends on your preference of spike plate. The plate is pretty stiff. I prefer flexible plates over stiffer ones. I didn’t get much feedback when running an 800. The spike itself is well made and a step up compared to Nike. I’ll go back to Nike Matumbo 2 when track season rolls around and save the Brooks for short intervals.
