because it helps the grip and it makes them run on their toes which makes them faster(:
If you are running on a track, you can wear spikes, just make sure there is a cushion in the heel. Sprinter spikes have very little heel cushion.
If you were allowed to have more, then it would be an unfair advantage over the other runners. Therefore, only 6 are allowed maximum.
Yes, you will need different track shoes and cleats/spikes for different events. The number of spikes, the pattern of spikes and the length of the spikes differs for sprinters, long distance runners and jumpers. If spikes are not used for running the shoes are still different. And throwing shoes do not have spikes and have a smooth sole.
You wear the kleats with the spikes.
To provide better traction. The spikes dig into the ground, stopping the user from slipping while running.
The spikes dig into earth and so give better traction.
Track spikes are specialized shoes with sharp metal or plastic spikes on the sole that are used by runners to improve traction and grip on the track surface, allowing for faster speeds and better performance during races.
As an expirienced runner I would say no. I say no because spikes are meant to contain traction on the ground while you run. Someone may have anothe answer this is mine: Do not wear spikes as sneakers.
Gloves and spikes are about the only equipment they wear
nothing
Yes
because to get the grip
