Easy is one of those words runners understand intellectually but still fight in practice. I’m rebuilding now, and learning that an easy day only works if you stop trying to turn it into another test.

Best video on running on YouTube. I’m 4 months into running and I’m so sick of all these methods that people say they use but do not have a clue, they just say it for clicks. Everything you’ve spoken about I’ve experienced it to some degree - although a few mins per mile slower- but confident I’ll get there. Keep going and keep sharing!

I had a useful observation I'll get to in a bit.

This was a great video thanks! I never realised easy running could be 180 - age, which means I have permission to go a little faster. I'm going to test this out tomorrow cheers!

Great video man. I struggle with easy runs. I always speed up by the end. Try and stick to a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y31sceCF7hw&t=390">6:30</a> mins/km but always end up at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y31sceCF7hw&t=340">5:40</a> mins/km

What is feasible as far as a progression for getting from 10 min miles easy to say 8 minutes miles easy? I can’t run faster than <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y31sceCF7hw&t=570">9:30</a> minutes per mile without my heart rate getting too high

Dude is the conversational pace final boss! I’m still building up to this controlled conversational pace. Definitely impressive! 🫡
