pacing question (Read 839 times)

If you're a noob and building up your mileage, I might agree. If you've been running for a while and have adjusted to the higher mileage, then I disagree.

The OP is a noob and building up her mileage, hence my recommendation. I am always amazed at how many offer advice based on their own level of conditioning rather than the level of the inquiring runner. A seasoned runner can definitely run faster paces, just like a seasoned runner can run 6 or 7 days a week, but that's not appropriate for a new runner, especially one with only 3 weeks of running under their belt.

Huh? We all offer advice based on our own experiences. Let's look at this again. Where do I disagree with you, taking into consideration the OP's experience level?

Then I went on to talk about running easy...

I like the talk test that Ennay mentioned. That's how I do it. Unscientific for sure, but it works great for me.

Mountain out a molehill????
