          how much time would wearing spikes instead of just regular running shoes take off your 200m time. just curious

          That's hard to gauge. It really depends on how much lighter your spikes are than your regular running shoes and if you're starting out of blocks

          What if you are starting out of blocks and you spikes are 10 ounces lighter than your running shoes?

          Something like that. The first time I ran in spikes and out of blocks, I got the exact same time I got in Training Shoes without blocks. So, you really never know.

          I think it'd be different for different people. I ran the 200m in 24.7 in training shoes and then ran it in 23.4 in my spikes.
