DOPE! Another runner to visit this thread! We run about the same pace. I ran SFM last year (my first race ever) and finished at 3:30, and I actually wore the Swifts for race day. I couldn't be more satisfied with my results!Originally Posted by phreakposite
Just found this thread - I've been running since 2006, and in lunars for the past year and a half.
Lunarglide - black/orange
Run Avant - Grey/grey
Lunarswift - white/blue/black
Ray - not sure about your full race pace, but looks like you're right around my pace. I ran 3:35:10 at SFM in 2008 and have been trying to get back up to marathon distance since then (I've had 2 more kids in the meantime and family time > running time).
I was running in Structure 10's back in 2008, then Spans, then switched my gait from heel-landing to midfoot-landing, and bought the Lunarglides to make it happen. The transition HURT for a couple weeks, but the 'glides were forgiving and I haven't gone back. However, I bought the Avants and the Swifts together, and the Swifts are so stiff for my foot structure that I get blisters almost every time I run over 3 miles. The Avants are awesome and in my opinion are the best lunars available. I plan on collecting more Avants, but since the Flys came out to replace them, and they're much more readily available, I may settle.
Does anyone have a runner's comparison of differences between Avants and Flys (1st or second gen)?
Hope to see Ray at SFM maybe next year (or CIM this year?) and possibly beat my 3:30 goal!
Tim
I'd like to run CIM this year, but it's tough to get even three runs in a week right now, let alone any long runs. I've been sticking to several local 5k's, and might get a 10k in later this summer. SFM has been my only full race so far, but I'd love to break that 3:30. CIM might be my best chance to do it. Pacing strategy aside, how were the hills on CIM compared to SFM?Originally Posted by ILLustRAYt

After having a DISAPPOINTING performance at CIM last December (3:41), I may give it another go. I had hopes for a sub 3:20 finish too. I did so many things wrong that race day, which I should've experienced during my first. I went out too fast hitting the 1/2 way mark at ~97 min, and only consumed 2-3 gel packs. I hit the wall @ M20ish right on the Bridge leading to Sac State. Contrastingly, with SFM, I kept it pretty consistent through M20, then tuned it up a bit. I remember consuming six gel packs that day too. Lesson learned... the hard way.
Currently, I'm running ~20MPW with a primary rotation of Free Runs and LunarTrainers to warm me up for the Disney 1/2 (my third race and first 1/2) in September. I'm aiming for a sub-95 finish. Are you running any other races, Tim?
