Reebok offers free track spikes for men’s size 9

No free lunch? Well, there are free spikes. If you wear men’s size 9, Joshua Evans of Reebok International has some shoes for you. Joshua writes: “We are currently looking to recruit subjects to product test our prototype track spikes. Specifically, we are looking for men’s size 9 runners to test our sprint and distance spikes in January-February 2007.” Joshua’s title is associate research engineer, and he earlier posted a solicitation that indicated only serous trainers need apply. He also mentioned women. The promo said: “(Athletes) who run 40+ miles/week OR do 4+ track workouts in spikes/week are wanted for Reebok’s Human Performance Engineering Lab to serve as product testers.” Have at ’em!

    I don’t know anyone that trains in spikes 4x a week and I know a lot of sprinters. I think they might hand out a lot of spikes that will never meet that criteria.

    If they are over 50 and even training in spikes , they must have just started, my old High School coach , Clyde Hart, might sound familar, told me many years ago to train in flats, unless perhaps doing time trail .
