Changing
from running in regular workout shoes to track spikes can cause Achilles tendon
problems. Your Achilles tendon, sometimes called the calcaneal tendon, connects
your calf muscles to your heel bone. A slow onset of pain that increases with
exertion is likely to be tendonitis, whereas a sudden pain may be a partial or
complete Achilles' tendon rupture. Achilles' tendons injuries are slow to heel
and, in the case of ruptures, can even require surgery. Source: http://www.livestrong.com/article/356226-track-spikes-sports-injuries/
Track spikes can be made from ceramic, metal and plastic and they are screwed into the bottom of the training shoes.
