I know that in order to get the most out of my running I need to mix up the types of running: easy runs, tempo, fartlek, speed work etc but when it comes to going out easy I just can't do it.
Again tonight, I went out on an apparent easy run which ended just over a minute slower than my PB 5k time. Admittedly I was pushing it and kept consciously thinking, slow down, but I couldn't. It is difficult for me to go at a slower pace, as I feel like it is just too slow. What are your thoughts on easy running?
What has worked for me in the past is going out with a less experienced runner and then I find it easier to go at his desired easy pace.
