This Sunday I'll probably put my 15mm spikes in as the course is akin to running on quicksand, but at the Berks champs in January - which is on Newbury racecourse(!) - I'll only need to have the 6mm spikes in. I sometimes put longer ones in the front of the shoe and shorter ones at the back if I need added grip but don't want to be completely laden down. I find 9mm is a good "default" spike to leave in.
