Enter Lunarglides
I decided today would be the day to test out the Nike Lunarglide 3s to see how they fare out in the field. They promise to deliver superior support and cushioning and just to put it to the test, I wore one Lunarglide on one foot and a Lunarswift on the other foot. The difference was staggering; there was next to no cushioning in the Lunarswifts anymore and the Lunarglide foot felt like it was walking on springs!
I was due my long run of the week so I laced the Lunarglides up for my 10 miler. Initial impression is that they are very secure in the mid-foot as promised and the cushioning also lived up to the claims. Anybody would be mad to try running 10 miles in a new pair of shoes but they were that comfortable that it was not a problem. I think they should be fully broken in after another 10 miles and then we’re good to go racing in them.
My left knee is always aching now, with my right hip singing the same song. I’m going to have to invest in a knee support to keep it compressed and in place. Other than that, my achilles tendonitis has completely disappeared and my acid reflux has really improved too, so I should be able to claw back those two lost weeks of more intense training.
