Today I was running flies in trainers on pavement. I was wondering how the times would compare percenatage wise compared to spikes on track.
Fly’s in Trainers

Does it matter? The whole point of flies is to achieve maximum velocity to achieve a change to central nervous system firing.
On the one hand, footwear should not change the quality of your run. In other words, the output of your training will be unaffected by running in trainers on pavement, however,
Running in spikes is faster than running in flats, so you may not achieve absolute maximum velocity which means you won’t achieve the maximum training effect you would on a track..
But if your only opportunity is to run flies on the pavement in flats, then do this as opposed to not doing flies.
Either way, the difference in times is irrelevant isn’t it? They just arent like for like comparisons. -
This is only slightly related. I has to train through indoor and won’t start competing until late march and the season runs through early July. I’ve been doing primarily accel runs, build SE for the 200 and focusing on my LJ technique. Is it too early to begin max velocity drills like flys?

What’s the most important aspect of the LJ? That should answer the question…
A football player I work with recently ran a 4.81 on the track with spikes and a 4.78 on concrete in sneakers…

Max V takes a long time to develop. I’m not sure why you would hold off.

Nick what do you think is the reason for that?

Well in this case probably because Cal State Long beach track is very soft and slow. But, the harder the faster right? or no?

Lol…Yes correct.
