Should I run a long distance race with sprinter shoes?

Not if you can help it because sprinter shoes are designed for the shorter distances sprinters run and wearing them for long distances may give you blisters

Should I run a long distance race with sprinter shoes?
noo. spikes are for sprinting. you need good padded yet LIGHT running shoes.

Reply:you should run with spikes. There are different kinds of spikes there's short distance long distance and medium distance. where short for sprinting and were medium for 800m 1500m and 3000m but long for cross country. i have medium distance, they wock for a lot of stuff.
Reply:Not a good idea. Sprint shoes are not designed for anything over 400m. Even middle distance spikes aren't good for a long distance event.
Reply:the above don't know what they're talking about.





don't run a long distance race with sprinter shoes.





sprinting shoes are made for sprinting races ie 400 and below.





use mid distance or long distance spikes for long distance races
Reply:no, no, no, you should get a pair of light racing flats, for any race over 1,500 mts.
Reply:You need to get long distance spikes. sprinting spikes don't have the support you need for the longer races. They aren't more expensive than sprinting spikes either.
Reply:get a pair of mid-distance or long distance spikes. nike makes a lot of good types of these like the Milers
