Hills of Death (HOD) Mar 2016 5:46pm, 31 Mar 2016 32011 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) I love my Lunar Tempo I find these great for halfs and above. Hopefully fingers crossed I'll be ok to run Manchester Marathon Sunday week. Now the question is do I run in the worn in pair (130 miles) or the brand new pair I can put about (20 miles on) hmmmm

I know people who have run good races in box fresh shoes (usually like you, a model they wore already), but its a risk and why take it? A few miles into a marathon would be a really bad time to find out you had got it wrong

I take it that the Manchester Marathon is boring tarmac, in my experience there is little to go wrong with wearing box-fresh of a make/model you have experience. Off-road it is a totally different ball-game.
