I have a pair of Asics Hyper Speed runners and i have a couple questions regarding them:
1/ When i sprint on grassy surface, i tend to get dirt and grass caught on the bottom. and this also leaves a big mess. What is the best way of cleaning the soles of the spikes, and removing dirt, without damaging the threads or anything (they are screw in spikes btw)??
2/ I have three sets of spikes. Which spike is best suited to what…
Spikes A - Light, long and thin
Spikes B - Heavier than A, just as long, but thicker
Spikes C - shorter in length, average weight, fairly thick
I’m still all new to Track & Field, and i just want to make sure i am looking after my spikes correctly. Thats about it for now, thankyou
I wouldn’t worry about the cleaning. That stuff typically falls off, but you get the bigger pieces out with stick of screwdriver and then use a stiff brush if you really want to get them clean. Don’t worry about the threads unless the spikes are out. As far as which ones to use – it depends on the surface. If you’re on grass or dirt, go longer. On a rubber surface, go shorter.
