I ran with Ted today for the first time. He said his easy pace was 7-7:30 and I thought he was probably one of those guys who never runs workouts and always runs mileage hard, but no luck. He has run a 5k in 14:40 in his college days and many in the 15's since then. Luckily he is ridiculously out of shape right now which is to say, still quite a bit better shape than I am. So our trail run was a good bit faster than I wanted to go, but in the end he was like, wow, that hurt. So hopefully we can run together more and at a more reasonable pace. He is gonna train for a 2:40 marathon in the fall which considering his speed if he just puts in the long runs he should do it.
