Running Spikes for Young Athletes

Many parents have started buying running spikes for their children, either from Warwick Sports or online. This is especially helpful for Teen Academy members who train on icy or wet tracks during colder months.


TIPS:

  • Always buy spikes one size bigger than your school shoe.

  • Buy spikes suitable for their event; sprints or endurance.

  • Only have 6mm length for track
