We Get Cross Country

 

WHAT ARE CROSS COUNTRY SPIKES?
 

Most folks are familiar with wearing lightweight, spiked shoes to optimize speed and traction on the track, but spikes are not exclusive to the oval.

Cross country spikes are lightweight racing shoes designed to meet the demands of off-road racing. As with track spikes, cross country spikes offer receptacles for screw-in spikes, but also feature a studded rubber outsole. The addition of rubber to the bottom of the shoe increases its traction level (for those precarious muddy and sloppy courses), and also protects the foot from rocks and roots that the cross country runner will likely encounter on race day. Many cross country spikes also include a layer of foam cushioning beneath the foot; again for added protection.
Many cross country spikes are also available in a “spikeless” version (sometimes called “flats”) that are better suited for courses that involve a good deal of concrete or other hard surfaces.

WHY SPIKES INSTEAD OF REGULAR RUNNING SHOES?

Spikes will allow you to race faster than a traditional running shoe for a number of reasons. Most cross country racing shoes weigh less than half of a regular running shoe, so less energy is exerted each time the foot leaves the ground. Also, the enhanced traction features ensure that the foot will not lose any footing on slick or uneven surfaces. Because spikes use much less material between your foot and the ground, the foot is able to plant more sturdily, and more energy from push-off goes directly into the ground instead of into the shoe and then into the ground. Overall efficiency is greater when using spikes compared to using running shoes.

ARE SPIKES RIGHT FOR YOU?

Each runner should check with his or her coach to see if spikes are recommended before investing in them. Some runners may wish to see if cross country is something they wish to stick with before making the purchase. If you have any questions about cross country racing footwear, give us a call at Front Runner or come by the store. We carry a large selection of cross country racing models, both with and without spikes. Try on a pair today and revolutionize your racing!

June

Check out was just arrived from our friends at Brooks 

     

 The light, bouncy, and balanced ride of the Ghost has haunted the dreams of many competitors -- and it's about to get frighteningly good. We've taken the transition from silky to ridiculously smooth by removing the midfoot shank and creating full ground contact from heel to toe.

 The luxury begins with an ultra-comformable upper that uses innovative 3D Fit Print overlays to create structure and reduce weight. We've also removed the midfoot shank to optimize ground contact for a transition that puts the "oo" in smooth.

Need a last minute gift for mom or are you tired of looking everywhere for the sports footwear, apparel, and accessories you need?? Then stop by Front Runner Athletics in Chattanooga TN!


 At Front Runner Athletics, we understand not all shoes are created equal, and that it is our job to help you perform at your highest level. No matter what the sport might be, after 30 years in business...#wegetit.

Going For A Swim

Swimming is a great and fun way to get fit and stay in shape.  Here are some helpful tips to get the most out of your dip in the pool.

• Stay Balanced

• Your spine should be held as neutrally as possible with your neck and shoulders relaxed.  Think of your spine as a metal rod that everything hangs from.  Keep your knees straight and your ankles flexible because your lower abs and oblique muscles hold up your lower half.  The water will support you and you can use your energy to move forward. 

• Stay a Head

• Keeping your head in a neutral position will enable you to keep your hips and legs stay balanced near the surface of the water.  Your head weighs around 20 pounds and acts as a counterweight to your legs.  Anytime you lift your head out of the water it automatically makes your legs sink.
