Just got my first ever pair of track spikes yesterday. NB
240, middle distance. I got them in about half a size bigger
than my shoe size, nice fit.
Went for a VO2Max workout in them, four 800's with 800
recovery jogs, nonstop.

I ran one mile to and from the track (in trainers, of
course), so a nice 6 miles logged all together.
I felt a bit of something at the back of the heel
afterwards, and a little bit more calf muscle stimulation
than usual. Normally I'm not aware that I even have
calves. 😉 This is to be expected from the lowered heel, I
suppose. Later in the evening I had a tiny bit of stinging
or tingling in both big toes, and behind the toe in one
foot. Nothing unpleasant. Much, much less than after
barefoot 800's.
