Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
12.00	1.00	13.00

AM: 77F, 85%. 8 @ 9:03 AP. I did my 2 + 6 workout: a 2 mile hobble followed by a 6 mile plod. Luckily I budgeted 80 minutes for this 8-miler when I set my alarm last night, so I crushed it compared to that.

PM: 5 on the TM, with 6 x 1 min @ 5k. Only 15 more runs to get through!

I could have actually run with you this morning! I didn't know your legs would move that slow.

From Jason D on Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 08:57:26 from 68.80.27.222

Run as slow as you need to. It's hard sometimes, but it helps. I haven't been posting average paces but I've has a few road runs where I haven't cracked 10-minute pace and I am (now) usually between 9:00-9:30 average for recoveries and not much faster for maintenance runs.

I haven't been posting my average pace but you can see them on the Strava (the widget on the side of my blog).

IJR - they couldn't move any faster either!

Jason - yeah, I don't think you can go "too slow" most of the time. Not when you're putting in the miles anyway...
