Okay, here are my details:
Age: 14
Weight: 57 kilograms
Style: 100m and 200m sprinter
At the moment I train with ordinary joggers which are over a year old, and I train at my local soccer field. I raced my friend who was wearing his footy boots which have metal studs and I beat him by nearly 20m in a 100m sprint. So I'm a very good sprinter - but I've NEVER worn spikes before, and I don't train at a proper sprint track. So I need help =(
Some say to train in spikes, others say train in joggers. What do I train in? If I train in joggers at my soccer field (which I would definitely prefer) then wouldn't it feel wierd putting on spikes when I race? Are spikes easy to get used to? Do they make you faster and by how much? Are they comfortable?
At the moment I'm looking at a pair of shoes called: "Nike Zoom Super Shift". They're worth $155 (very expencive.. but I can afford it). I'm wondering whether its worth spending that much money on a pair of shoes? Will they make me faster, and how long do a pair of spikes last?
Thanks if you can answer my questions, and if anyone can suggest a pair of sprint shoes for me it will help alot!! =)
