This is a quick summary of ON CLOUDSPIKE 10,000M – First Impressions Review – Best Spike I’ve Tried? from Ben Is Running. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

• The new Cloudspike 10,000 m is designed for 5‑10 K races, offering more cushioning than traditional spikes, especially around the heel.
• The spike uses a responsive plastic plate (instead of carbon fiber) and the same foam as the Cloudboom Echo 3 for a comfortable, mid‑foot strike.
• Ben’s first‑run impression: comfortable, responsive, and great for short‑speed work on the track.

Workout Example

Pyramid speed session (indoor track):

1. Warm‑up: a few easy laps in your usual trainer.
2. 200 m – aim for ~28 seconds.
3. 400 m – aim for ~66‑67 seconds.
4. 600 m – moderate effort.
5. Repeat in reverse order: 600 m, 400 m, 200 m.
   This pyramid targets 5K speed while letting you feel the cushioning and responsiveness of the Cloudspike.

Closing Note

Give this pyramid workout a try in your next track session – feel free to adjust the paces to match your own speed in the Pacing app. Have fun testing the new spikes and keep chasing those faster 5K times! 🚀
