Surprisingly efficient...
I got my first pair back in November '08 and just purchased my second this week. They were strange at first - very light, they intimidated me a bit. I thought they would offer no protection or cushioning. Wrong.
I got used to them after about a month of regular use. I train 5 times a week - I'm a half-marathoner, with hopes of finishing my first marathon next year. So, I guess I average about 50-60 km a week. These shoes have been able to provide surprisingly good results over the past 6 months. I started using them for intervals and then tried them out on longer runs. Until I decided to do a half-marathon in them. My best result, so far.
Although I did end up with a pretty awful blister on the right toe, the shoes were great. Great speed and kick. One thing that really gets me to liking these shoes is that they are very constant; they don't "fall apart" mid-race or "give in" like other shoes. They keep firm and responsive.
I reckon NIke have really got a nice product on their hands. I for one will continue purchasing the Lunar Trainers and maybe even try out the Lunar Racer for my next half.
Cheers.
