Runner’s Question: Ok,
I have a pair of Lynx Sneakers (still saving up for spikes!),
and I have to run a relay in three hours time,
but i am afraid that i am going to slip on the running track (its happened to me before). Are there any easy ways to get your sneakers to grip better to the running track? (ect.vasoline)
I think the track is synthetic

keep your feet on the ground
i think just spikes
and adding something to ur shoes might be against the rules
my friend was disqualified cuz her spikes were too long or something
spikes are the best. get those as soon as possible… I don’t know what to tell yah, just make sure you don’t slip when u start, and u should be fine. you could also borrow a friends if they wear the same size as you. good luck!!
Stay lower if you are running the corners kinda lean to the left. But yeah spikes is really the only thing. get 5mm spikes for running 400+ and 7mm for corners more than that you can get disqualified.
I run track and when i lift my shoe with the spikes at home, I ran in regular shoes and just tryed to stay no my feet. You need to just stay on top of you game.( if you slip and bust you butt than git up and keep going.) Just try to git those spikes for you ohter shoes, just rember winning is not eveything ya you mite get a metal but the world is not going to end if you dont get a metal. So just do your best
