"You're Not Winning"
Connecticut Runners' Forum on RunningAhead
A good rule of thumb is to run your long runs at 1 1/2-2 minutes per mile slower than your 10K pace.
When you finish your "long run", you should have a feeling that, if you had to, you could have run a little faster and a little further. If you feel absolutely stuffed at the end of your "long run", chances are that you've run too fast or too far at the present fitness level.

Not at it at all.
For me that would be about 8:25 - 8:55 per mile. That's too fast for my liking. My LR pace generally is around 9 - 9:30.
