I would recommend thinking about which events you are going to compete in and focus your training on that. If your running long distance (1 mile, 2 mile--slow twitch muscle fiber) all those products are great! Successful long distance runners always crosstrain; meaning they not only run, but they run up hill or do stair steppers, or elliptical to train all the muscle in their legs, not just a specific set. If your running sprints (400m, 200m, 100m--typically fast twitch muscle fibers); I wouldn't recommend any of these machine; I think you would get more benefit working with weights and doing quick step exercises (stairs) and short sprints with resistence (i.e parachutes, fast sprints up hill). Good luck and train hard<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.engineeringfitness.com/tip6 I’ve coached track for over ten years.
