If all goes to plan races left are: Oxford league South west schools Intercounties Oxford league (day after sigh) English Schools and my god will I be glad when it's over and I can concentrate on the proper running ie track!

RichyC Feb 2011 5:01pm, 12 Feb 2011 698 posts	Quote Pin RichyC A question re spikes. For cross country is it an absolute must to get cross country spikes? Or could you get away with a middle/longer distance track spike like the Nike Rival D IV? Or would this be too much of a compromise on grip/support?
